Following a late night of watch parties, the results were in and Dallas voters sent a clear message that they like things the way they are.

District 3 voters will go back to the polls June 10 for a runoff election to decide who will replace term-limited Casey Thomas. Zarin Gracey has been endorsed by Thomas and earned 46.22 percent of the vote, just shy of the 50 percent required to avoid a runoff. He’ll face Joe Tave, who earned 25.76 percent of the vote in a race with five candidates, next month.

Eric Johnson

In Lake Highlands, Kathy Stewart handily defeated three opponents to take the District 10 council seat vacated by term-limited Adam McGough.

Mayor Eric Johnson will remain at the horseshoe for four more years, while several council members are heading back for two-year terms. Johnson was essentially unopposed but 42,990 voters (93.02 percent) cast ballots for the mayor. Write-in candidate Kendal Richardson brought in 3,227 votes (6.98 percent).

It is the honor of my life to serve my hometown as Mayor. This victory today belongs to the people of Dallas, and I am looking forward to continuing to lead our city to even greater heights over the next four years.

— Mayor Eric L. Johnson (@Johnson4Dallas) May 7, 2023
