Editor’s Note: This is the second installment of our series of Dallas City Council candidate questionnaires. You can see the first here. We attempted to contact each candidate in every contested race (10 races total), and those who responded with a working email address received the same eight questions.

While we sent questionnaires to all seven District 14 candidates, only three responded to our brief questionnaire.
