While Adam Bazaldua hasn't had enough time to make his policy mark on the Dallas City Council, he's already shown that he's got the political chops to lead a district that's needed strong leadership for a long time. In order to win his seat, the high school teacher knocked off District 7's last two incumbents by showing a willingness to collaborate and learn what often seemed elusive for Kevin Felder and Tiffinni Young. Fair Park has a progressive voice on the council who doesn't seem to owe anyone anything. That's an unqualified good thing.
