City Council member Jaynie Schultz will face off with journalist Candace Evans for District 11 seat.
First-term City Council member Jaynie Schultz is running for reelection to represent District 11 in North Dallas. Since winning the seat in 2021, Schultz said she has worked, along with the Dallas Police Department, to lower the crime rate in the district and to improve streets and alleys, address homelessness and panhandling and see to the demolition of Valley View Center mall.
She noted the city is trying to help residents understand that giving to panhandlers is not always helpful to them and that they should instead donate to local homelessness organizations. She said the district has the same problems it did when she ran against Schultz two years ago, and some have gotten worse. Evans thinks the current state of the district will help her beat Schultz this time around.
On support for DPD, Evans criticized Schultz for at one point voting in favor of a budget amendment that would have the department come back to City Council to request the remainder of its overtime money. “[Schultz] says she didn’t defund police, but she voted against giving our chief the overtime budget he needed, making him come to council to beg and justify overtime when we are short 500 officers,” Evans said.
