Builder Supported Candidates Perform Well in Recent Elections
Dallas Builders supported candidates performed well on Nov. 3. Of the 68 candidates listed in the Dallas Builders Voter Guide, 86% found victory. Two more candidates in hotly contested races are headed to runoffs.
Locally, a strong list of municipal, county and state candidates supported by HOMEPAC of Greater Dallas made it through the very heated general election. Two of those, Mayoral candidate Gerard Hudspeth and Council Place 6 at Large candidate Jim Mann, are now headed to the Dec. 8 runoff election in Denton.
A strong majority of the Dallas BA and TAB favored state government candidates prevailed with 94% seeing election or re-election.
Dallas Fort Worth area builders will continue to have their voices heard in the halls of Congress due to big wins by builder supported candidates. Senator John Cornyn will return and the region will again send builder friendly Texans to the U.S. House. The Dallas area House delegation will include two new members, longtime Dallas BA friend Pat Fallon and Beth Van Duyne, who has recognized the importance of our Association weighing in on housing issues. Fallon previously served in the Texas Senate and Van Duyne is the former Regional Administrator to the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development.
Dallas BA will provide updates on runoff elections soon.
