Beyond Big D: Runoff election decides council races in several smaller area cities

Beyond two open council seats in Dallas, several smaller cities that are entirely or partly in Dallas County had council members — and a mayor — to elect Saturday.

Grand Prairie voters appear to have elected John Lopez to the District 4 council seat. In unofficial results Saturday, Lopez, a Federal Reserve Bank of Dallas administration manager, had almost 55% of the runoff vote. His runoff opponent was Marketta Nimo, a lifelong Grand Prairie resident and daycare owner.

In the Garland mayoral race, Dylan Hedrick appeared headed to victory over Deborah Morris. The current mayor, Scott LeMay, was term-limited.

Hedrick just completed his third term as a council member. A civil engineer at a local firm, Hedrick moved to Garland 10 years ago.
