We recommend in the race for Texas House District 114 | Opinion
Dallas Morning News EditorialThe departure of state Rep. John Turner from the Legislature is a loss for his District 114, which benefited from his diligence, consensus-building skills and advocacy of centrist solutions.
Two candidates are vying to replace him. On the Democratic side is John Bryant, 75, a former state representative and congressman who is jumping back into the ring after 25 years out of office. The Republican Party is running Sarah Lamb, 38, a real estate broker and community activist who joined the race this summer after the GOP primary winner was deemed ineligible.
Whoever wins will represent a District 114 that has been significantly redrawn. The new District 114 encompasses parts of North Dallas and East Dallas, including the M streets, Casa Linda and neighborhoods around White Rock Lake. Bryant, who was first elected into office in 1974, touts his long legislative record. Lamb argues the district needs a leader who has “skin in the game,” highlighting her involvement in local civic groups and that her young children attend Dallas ISD. While Bryant beats Lamb on experience, her philosophy on government more often aligns with ours, and for that reason we recommend Lamb.
Some voters will remember Lamb from her failed bid in 2019 to represent East Dallas in the Dallas City Council. Before that, she had rallied hundreds of neighbors in opposition to state officials’ preferred redesign option for the Gaston-Garland-Grand intersection. After her council campaign, Lamb served in the city’s Board of Adjustment.
