Congratulations to Dan Barrett and Joel Burns!

by Pete Wann

Kevin was at Joel Burns’ victory party at Sapristi Bistro last night taking pictures, so if you didn’t make it, it looked a lot like this. As you can see above, Joel is already dealing with the media demands of his new position. Joel! Call Me!

Oh, and the best part of the night for Joel had to be giving Chuck Silcox a big hug.

Bernie, Victoria, and I went out to Dan Barrett’s party as well, where the crowd got increasingly excited as they hit refresh on the laptop and the returns started coming.

All in all, it was a great night for Democracy in Fort Worth!

And, of course, there was a party.
