Episode #18 2021 Fort Worth Mayoral Candidates

Hello Fort Worth and welcome to another episode of the Fort Worth Freedom Review.

We are a show about local politics that aims to get more people engaged in local issues. It is election season and we have an upcoming Mayoral and City Council Election on May 1st with early voting starting soon. Last week's episode covered the City Council races and this week's episode is about the ten people who are running to be your Mayor.  

My name is Anthony Sosa and today with me we have, Christopher Rose and Thomas Moore to talk about the 2021 Fort Worth Mayoral Candidates and about what info is available for them.

All of the resources used will be provided below in the show notes. We have created a spreadsheet of all currently available information that will also be shared and we encourage that you share this information with other people who would like to know about their candidates.  

This podcast is made possible by The Justice Reform League, a Fort Worth based non-profit. You can sign up for our newsletter and get updates on FW political news and deep dives into local issues at our website www.justicereformleague.org

Feel free to contact us if you have any episode ideas or additional information on any of the candidates on Twitter at @FWReview and at [email protected] .
