For the first time anyone can recall, the Dallas County Commissioners Court will all be Democrats.
“It's the first time we've had this sort of progressive, all welcoming, all progressive court. But we're going to focus on representing everyone, Republicans, Independents and Democrats,” Dallas County Judge Clay Jenkins said.Republican Commissioner J.J. Koch, who was often at odds with Jenkins, was defeated by Democrat Andrew Sommerman. His victory margin was 53% to 47%.
“Well I think there will be more harmony because Koch of course was a divisive factor on the court,” Sommerman said.“I am not a Democrat anymore once I’m elected. Once I’m elected, I have to represent Democrats and Republicans both and make sure that my district is properly represented,” he said.over a Republican challenger.“When you get 61 to 39 in the early vote, there's going to be a lot of Republican voters in there who agree with what we are doing,” Creuzot said.
Koch opposed the new lines reducing Republican-leaning areas in his district, but the Democrats said they were supported by trends in prior elections. At 37 years, Price is the longest-serving member of the Dallas County Commissioners Court. He recalls many Republicans who’ve served with him over the years but no other time when there were no Republicans. But he said getting things done is not a matter of political parties in county government.
