May 6 Beto O Rourke wants Fort Worth voters to turnout in support of Deborah Peoples for mayor.
The former Texas congressman endorsed Peoples on Thursday, saying he was proud to partner with her to turnout voters in Fort Worth.
Peoples is running against Mattie Parker, a nonprofit CEO and former aid to Mayor Betsy Price. The pair received the most votes in a crowded field to head to the June 5 runoff. Price is not seeking reelection. Deborah s 30 years of executive experience and lifelong commitment to Fort Worth will make her an excellent mayor, O Rourke said in a prepared statement.
