A second parent from East Dallas has reached out to discuss their view on the Dallas ISD District 2 race. This parent, a Kingston supporter, has decided to change his vote from Kirkpatrick to Marshall after taking a closer look at both candidates. Looks like a vote for Kingston doesn't necessarily mean a vote for Kirkpatrick after all.
Everyone makes their decisions differently. Below is a letter written by an East Dallas parent about why he has chosen to vote for Dustin Marshall on June 10th.
Dear Neighbors,
I live in Junius Heights. I'm an architectural designer, PhD candidate, educator, husband, and dad of a 2 1/2 year old boy and 1 year old girl. I'm a member of the Old East Dallas Early Childhood PTA associated with Lipscomb Elementary. I’m excited for my children to become Lipscomb Lions and the only Trustee I am comfortable entrusting their futures to is Trustee Dustin Marshall.
Before the runoff I had been swayed by the us (east dallas/public schoolers/democrat/local) versus them (north dallas/private schoolers/republican/big business) rhetoric. I believe Philip Kingston is good for our district and he recommended Dustin's opponent. Mita Havlick's and Jim Schutze's endorsements of Dustin encouraged me to look closer. Given additional time to reflect and understand both candidates in more detail, I am confident Dustin is the most qualified to represent our district and to address the issues pertinent to a school district the size of DISD. I am encouraged by Dustin’s consistent support for and innovation in education.
