Earlier this month, over 50 candidates in 14 contested Dallas City Council races had to file their latest campaign finance reports, documenting their fundraising and spending over the last several months.
The Dallas Morning News has hit on some of the bigger takeaways from these records. Almost $900,000 has been pumped into contests that will determine the makeup of the city council, with Mayor Eric Johnson spared from having to run for re-election until 2023. Big-name donors who have previously backed the mayor are now supporting challenges to three incumbent city council members who voted against Johnson last fall in a battle over police overtime funding a sign that public safety concerns (and the mayor’s strained relationships with many of his colleagues) are driving forces this election
Standing firm on principles, the future is bright for Brevard Republicans | Opinion
Josiah Gattle
The Republican Party and its future in Brevard County have been the topic of recent discussion in the press. The truth is that while parties need leaders, their real power comes from standing firm on principles and the hardworking people rather than a singular position of power.
Republicans stand for limited government and maintaining individual freedom so citizens can pursue happiness according to the dictates of their own conscience. Take, for example, conservative organizations like Moms for Liberty, who are standing for parental rights and against government overreach in our children s education. Or consider the numerous Second Amendment groups with chapters and supporters springing up in our county to protect our right to keep and bear arms as well as educating citizens on responsible firearm usage and ownership.
I knew it was a long shot. I tried to see Yosemite s firefall anyway.

I wasn’t planning this year to see Yosemite’s National Park’s firefall, a natural phenomenon during which the rays of the setting sun illuminate Horsetail Fall in fire-red, orange and golden hues. Reservations would be hard to come by, I knew, and lines would be long, parking lots would be full and crowds of photographers would be annoying (or even deadly).
Oh, and if it got cloudy or the waterfall went dry, there would be nothing to see.
