🚨FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE🚨

Unfortunately, my Kickoff Rally has been cancelled and my campaign for City Council has come to an end. Due to dirty politics, shady back-room deals, and election interference, I’ve been illegally blocked from ballot access. It has been said that since I was the community’s favorite to win by a landslide, and would prevent the current councilman’s candidate from winning, I had to be blocked.

The political talk is that I am a threat to “the establishment” and wouldn’t go along with politics as usual. They are saying that I would upset the natural order of things and wouldn’t “play ball” with special interest groups and developers. They are correct, I would not be taking any bribes or selling out the Black & Brown people of District 8.

It’s been said that their fear is that I would prioritize the people’s needs, and I’m too pro-Black. They said I’m too upfront, vocal, and assertive, and wouldn’t do what “the establishment” tells me or needs me to do.

I learned a new term, “Dallas doesn’t let their money get mad”; and supposedly, I would upset the money trying to put the people first and do right by them.

So, I will have to take my case to the Texas Supreme Court and maybe the US Supreme Court to get justice…..Stay tuned.

Thank you for all your support. I’ll keep you updated.
