FORT WORTH — Following Fort Worth District 9 councilwoman Wendy Davis' announcement she's stepping down to run for state senate, Jim Beckman, Joel Burns, Mark Pederson, Juan Rangel, Bernie Scheffler, and Chris Turner are competing in the November 6 election to serve during the remainder of her term.

The candidates have been surveyed by the League of Women Voters and appeared in public forums covered by the Star-Telegram, FortWorthology, and PegNews.com content partner The Caravan of Dreams. (In the interest of full disclosure, CoD's Steve-O supports Bernie Sheffler.)
