Fort Worth's District 10 is gearing up for a special election on May 2nd, pitting business owner Chris Jamison against former City Council. Staffer, Alicia Ortiz, they're vying to replace Alan Blaylock, who grabbed the seat in 2022 and now, Isaac Texas House spot in District 93. This north side district stretches around the city of Hallset, hugging Fort Worth's northern edge, with boundaries along Golden Triangle Boulevard and Big Fossil Creek. East of Interstate 35 West, it's packed with hillwood developments near Alliance, while the west side clings to old farm roads amid rapid, growth. Residents deal with sluggish emergency responses, sometimes waiting 20 to 30 minutes for police or fire, thanks to narrow roads, soft, shoulders, and traffic jams. Both candidates hammer home the knee for better infrastructure, like upgrading bonds Ranch Road and East West Roots such as Avondale Hazlid Road, even partnering with nearby cities like Roanoke. Beyond roads, fiscal smarts top their agendas.

Jamison leans on his bicell run business background to slash city waste, while Ortiz draws from her time-aiding council member Carrie Moon on the auto-committed to protect taxpayer cash. Early voting kicks off April 20th through April 28th, so North Fort Worth folks get your ballots ready. This race could reshape traffic, flow and budgets up there for years.
