Chris Reed, a software developer, filed to run in District 9 on Fort Worth’s City Council. Three people, Reed, Jason Pena and incumbent Elizabeth Beck are officially running for the seat.
This is Reed’s first time seeking office. Reed previously created a petition urging the city to save a 50-meter swimming pool in Forest Park.
“The demolition of neighborhood pools is symptomatic of a culture in Fort Worth City Hall that has been so cost-conscious,” Reed previously told the Fort Worth Report.
