CandysDirt.com Publisher Candace Evans is Running For Dallas City Council’s District 11

Share News:

At the last moment, CandysDirt.com publisher Candace Evans entered the District 11 race against Jaynie Schultz.

Evans said she only decided to run this week after reading about the fire at Valley View mall last Friday. She told no one, not even her staff, about her decision.

“I just cannot stand to see the waste at Valley View and Schultz has been making some very bad decisions,” said Evans. “She is voting for what Jaynie wants, not what District 11 wants and needs. I intend to hold her feet to the fire.”

Evans is the founder and publisher of CandysDirt.com, a board trustee at Preservation Dallas, The USA Film Festival, and on the Board of Directors at Braemar Hotels and Resorts.

This is her third time running for the District 11 seat, after two attempts — one in 2017 against then-Councilman Lee Kleinman, and in 2021 when the seat was open.

“How many times did Abraham Lincoln run? “ she told me.

    Best of luck, Candy…..you deserve to be elected. Jaynie Schultz doesn’t represent her constituents’ best interests and needs to be retired for good. District 11 needs solutions and action that serve the greater community.

    Thank you Candy for getting in the District 11 City Council race. Our District deserves to be represented by a reasonable business person that understands that safety and security comes before idealistic social agendas that your competitor continues to champion. Good luck.

    Thank you for running Candy! Janie misrepresents herself and has been a huge disappointment! Time for fresh ideas and new energy!

    How can I get yard signs?
