Meet linus Spiller
For far too long, we have watched our elected District 6 representatives consistently underperform and not bring back to the district what we are owed based on the taxes we pay the City of Dallas through our property taxes, sales tax revenues, and user fee funds.
We see this play out every time there is a city bond election where elected representatives from other council districts fight for their fair share and our District 6 representatives are just content for a seat at the table. That is not acceptable.
With your vote and confidence, I will fight for District 6 residents every day to ensure the quality of life you deserve is met. Together we can do this.
The time for empty campaign promises and “poli-tricking” is over. Together, let’s bring in fresh new leadership that is committed to serving YOU.
God bless you and I’ll see you on the campaign trail!
