What’s Happening in Dallas Today

Here’s a look at the key stories and events shaping the city today:

How Amber Givens Plans to Reshape Justice in Dallas County

Amber Givens, a former judge, is set to make history as the new district attorney of Dallas County. She defeated incumbent John Creuzot in the Democratic primary and will face no opposition in the general election. Givens, speaking from her church, has outlined plans to reform the justice system by streamlining case intake, reducing unnecessary jail time, and ensuring faster justice for victims. Her campaign also addresses past controversies from her time on the bench, showing a commitment to change.

A Dallas Church Rebuilding After Sanctuary Roof Collapse

A Dallas-based congregation, Kingdom Culture Dallas, is working to rebuild after an ice storm caused the roof of its Cedar Hill sanctuary to collapse. The 11,000-square-foot community hub was severely damaged, forcing the church to use temporary worship spaces. Leaders have described the challenges they’ve faced, including repeated flooding, but remain hopeful. Demolition is scheduled for next week, with plans to return to their property this summer.

A Dallas Pastor Poised to Head to Congress

Frederick D. Haynes III, a long-time pastor and activist, is set to replace outgoing Rep. Jasmine Crockett in the 30th Congressional District. Haynes won the Democratic primary with strong support from local leaders and Crockett herself. His platform includes progressive policies such as expanding healthcare access and abolishing ICE. However, his views on Israel and Palestine have sparked both praise and criticism.
