The Dallas-Fort Worth area added nearly 120,000 people during the pandemic, mostly on the backs of booming suburban counties. In fact, Dallas had nothing to do with that growth: Dallas County added just 285 people while its neighbors saw thousands of relocations in 2020.
Collin County grew by 36,997 people, about a 3.6 percent increase. Not bad for a single year. Denton County added 30,559, a 3.4 percent jump. Even Tarrant County jumped by 22,065, an increase of about a percentage point.

D Magazine since May of 2019, when the then candidate held a mayoral watch party at Smoky Rose as he made the runoff. Tim Rogers, the editor of this magazine, stuck an iPhone in his face and asked a few questions, including whether local political consultant Jay Pritchard ever “lit him up” during a high school football game and why Ray Hunt didn’t show up to the party.

Mayor Eric Johnson has made it known he’d like to see several of his Dallas City Council colleagues unseated on May 1. What is less clear is whether the mayor’s endorsements have done his favored candidates any good.
New campaign finance reports show that three Dallas City Council incumbents who are facing challengers with either Johnson’s open or implied support are handily out-fundraising their opponents in the final days of election season. It’s a sharp contrast from a month ago before the mayor made his endorsements when challengers in these three races were either outpacing or essentially matching the incumbents in campaign contributions.
