Mayor Pro Tem Dwaine Caraway will not Run for Mayor

By now you've heard the announcement; Mayor Pro Tem Dwaine Caraway will not run for Mayor in 2011 and instead will focus on reelection and vetting of the 2011 Mayoral candidates.  The full announcement is below.



As is mentioned in the release, redistricting is a key focus in 2011. Compared to the City Council districts in North Dallas, the four districts that encompass Southern Dallas are drawn in a way that dilutes the power and unity of the communities. Buckner Terrace, Piedmont, and Pleasant Grove should be in the same Council district. This is an inequity that we seek to correct in this redistricting cycle.  More of this plan will be laid out at the appropriate time.
