Sandra Crenshaw Stonewall Democrats of Dallas is issuing a warning against former Dallas City Council member Sandra Crenshaw, who is in a runoff for the Democratic nomination in Texas House District 100 against gay candidate Venton Jones, based on things Crenshaw said in an address to the Dallas County Commissioners Court today (Tuesday, May 17).
Officials with Stonewall Democrats criticized Crenshaw for what they felt were anti-LGBTQ remarks and for attacks on Jones, who is running as an openly gay, openly-HIV-positive candidate.
Crenshaw finished first out of four candidates in the March 4 primary, with 34.2 percent of the vote. Jones came in second with 25.6 percent.
The 8.6 percentage points between them equals 728 actual votes. Stonewall Democrats have endorsed Jones in the race. The winner of this week’s runoff will face Libertarian candidate Joe Roberts in the November General Election.
