Pamela Boggess, an attorney, filed to run in District 9 on Fort Worth’s City Council. Four people, Boggess, Chris Reed, Elizabeth Beck and Jason Peña are officially running for the seat. 

Boggess has previously run for judge in Tarrant County’s 372nd District Court. And she previously worked as an assistant criminal district attorney where she specialized in prosecuting child sexual abuse and gangs.

Candidates across all 11 districts will vie for a seat on the council May 6. Of the nine incumbents, eight have filed for reelection so far. 

Two districts — 10 and 11 — will be filled for the first time, after the city council passed a redistricting map to establish them.
