Infrastructure, politics influence election for north Fort Worth council seat
The two candidates for a north Fort Worth City Council district agree that their political endorsements, fiscal prudence and approach to managing growth will be key to winning the seat in May.
Chris Jamieson and Alicia Ortiz are seeking the District 10 seat left open by City Council member Alan Blaylock, who is stepping down to run for a seat in the Texas House. Early voting is April 20-28 for the May 2 election.
Both candidates shared their reasons for running and approach to public office during a virtual forum hosted by the Fort Worth Report on April 15.
Jamieson, 47, described himself as a career businessman, saying he’s started, built, bought and sold about a dozen companies over three decades. Ortiz, 50, is a small business owner who worked at City Hall for seven years as the district director for former north Fort Worth council member Cary Moon.
