(VIDEO) Broden for Congress (CD-30) and the Dallas Uptown Vote: Dallas Morning News Endorses Broden

Stephen Brodens campaign for Congress (TX-30) was in full swing at the Dallas Uptown Festival on Saturday, Sept. 25. The Dallas Uptown district, which includes the LoMac, State Thomas, West Village and McKinney Avenue neighborhoods, is ready to vote for the real urban leadership of Stephen Broden for Congress in the upcoming November 2 elections, according to the Broden Campaign.  Voters support congressional candidate Broden on important issues that matter to them, to the Dallas areas CD-30 district and to the country. Adding to the momentum is todays endorsement of Broden by the Dallas Morning News.

We dont make this recommendation lightly. The public knows little about Broden, 58, but we are heartened by the fact that he has been involved at the street level, reclaiming parts of the district in southern Dallas. He pastors a small mission church near Fair Park, whose goal is to transform the lives of pimps, prostitutes and addicts. Having seen the districts needs from the ground up, he believes much more could be done to create jobs and stability.
