Progressive Women of Arlington
Dear PWA Members and Friends, We've been closely watching the upcoming 2024 Arlington School Board and City Council races. We held our own PWA school board and city council candidate forums this month. Several of us have attended other candidate forums, including those hosted by the Republican Women of Arlington, the Council of PTAs, NAACP and the Greater Community Church.
To this point in our history, PWA has refrained from endorsing candidates, but our members have told us that they value informed opinions and appraisals of local candidates. And since these are non-partisan elections, we can't rely on "D" or "R" labels to help guide our opinions.
So, based on the hours of testimony we've gleaned from the forums (including our own); and with input from information on the Informed Tarrant Voter website and discussions with other activists in Arlington, here's where we are coming down for these local races.
At-a-glance PWA Endorsements:
AISD Trustee Place 2 - Melody Fowler

Arlington City Council Dist. 1 - Mauricio Galante
