Our speaker will
be John Love,
Candidate for US
Senate running against Ted Cruz in 2024
Now that we're
finished with the 2022 election, which
were a mixed bag, it's time to look
toward the next elections. While not
successful in the
statewide elections, locally in
Dallas County Democrats were very
strong. Julie Johnson and a number
of other State Representatives were
reelected, Andrew Sommerman replaced J J
Koch on the County Commissioners Court,
John Creuzot and Clay Jenkins were strong
against Republican attacks.
We're all aware of
electoral results at the
national level...Democrats have
retained control of the Senate with a
Senate Runoff still to be decided in
Georgia in December and the House is yet
to be decided. These results are
exceptionally positive for the
presidential party in a midterm
election, and far from the annihilation of
the Democrats that the Republican
expected. Retaining control of
the Senate, in particular, means that
President Biden can continue to nominate
Federal judges, and the vote on their
appointments can't be held up as was done
when the Republicans controlled the Senate
under the leadership of Mitch
McConnell.
But now many are
already looking to the next
elections. There is likely to be a
special election for Mayor in Farmers
Branch since the current mayor, Robert Dye
has resigned and candidates are
emerging. There are already
several people planning to run
against Ted Cruz, and we want to introduce
you to one of them.
John
Love is
from Midland, Texas and he's been
elected 3 times to the Midland CIty
Council. John
Love is a second-generation business
owner. He graduated summa
cum laude with
a B.A. in economics from the
University of Texas of the Permian
Basin and was elected three times to
the Midland City Council. John has
served on the Permian Basin
Metropolitan Planning Organization and
Texas’s Border Trade Advisory
Committee. He is a past president of
both the Midland Space Development
Corporation and the Texas Municipal
League.
Come
meet John Love. As we go
forward, we hope to present all
of the candidates running to defeat
Ted Cruz, who narrowly won his last
reelection bid in 2018.
The
meeting will be via Zoom and the
