From Lakewood-East Dallas Advocate: By Sam Gillespie August 13th, 2020 David Blewett earned his Dallas City Council District 14 seat June 8, 2019, beating incumbent Philip Kingston in a runoff. Sworn in 11 days later, it's been a first year like no other for the rookie councilman. "When I consulted with previous office holders, neighborhood leaders and city staffers about what to expect, they said, 'It's like drinking from a fire hose,'" says Blewett. "They were wrong. It's like drinking from two fire hoses. It comes at you hard and fast." Blewett reflects on his freshman year. Read more at the Lakewood-East Dallas Advocate.
