Support the independent voice of Dallas and help keep the future of Dallas Observer free.
With 328 precincts out of 577 now reporting in, Ed Oakley's gaining on Tom Leppert: The second-place vote-getter now has 21.48 percent of the vote, or 11,700 votes. Top dog Leppert's at 26.55, or 14,463 votes. Hill's got 15.92 percent, with 8,670 votes, while Wells has 11.19 percent, with 6,096 votes. Our Man Downtown's hearing we're still waiting on some major Lake Highlands-area precincts. But things are changing among the top four, ever so slightly. --Robert Wilonsky
Keep the Dallas Observer Free... Since we started the Dallas Observer, it has been defined as the free, independent voice of Dallas, and we would like to keep it that way. Offering our readers free access to incisive coverage of local news, food and culture. Producing stories on everything from political scandals to the hottest new bands, with gutsy reporting, stylish writing, and staffers who've won everything from the Society of Professional Journalists' Sigma Delta Chi feature-writing award to the Casey Medal for Meritorious Journalism. But with local journalism's existence under siege and advertising revenue setbacks having a larger impact, it is important now more than ever for us to rally support behind funding our local journalism. You can help by participating in our "I Support" membership program, allowing us to keep covering Dallas with no paywalls.
