Is former Fort Worth mayoral candidate Deborah Peoples running for Tarrant County Judge?
Deborah Peoples may be mulling a run for Tarrant County Judge. The former Fort Worth mayoral candidate, who lost to Mattie Parker by 6 percentage points in the June 5 runoff election, posted a simple question Wednesday morning on Facebook. County judge? read the post, written at 7:55 a.m. The move could set up a possible rematch between Peoples and former Mayor Betsy Price, who announced her run for Tarrant County Judge last week. The former chairwoman of the Tarrant County Democratic Party lost by 14 points when she challenged Price for the mayors job in 2019. Im certain she will bring a spirited campaign, but Im confident voters will find my pro-taxpayer, pro-police and pro-economic growth policies more desirable, Price said Wednesday in a statement to KXAS-TV (NBC 5). The station also asked Peoples if she was running, and she said in a text message, Anything is possible but I am working on multiple projects right now.  Tim OHare, former mayor of Farmers Branch and founder of the Southlake Families PAC, is also in the race for county judge after announcing his candidacy in late May. He and Price will face off in the Republican primary next March. Glen Whitley, who has been Tarrant County Judge since 2006, announced earlier this month he would not seek a fifth term.
