The political coalition of diverse community leaders in Irving, which helped to sweep John Danish and Allan Meagher into office last May, is organizing again this year. Members of the Muslim, Bangladeshi, Pakistani, Sudanese, Korean, Black, Hispanic, Anglo and Jewish communities in Irving are working together to ensure a diverse voice is heard at the ballot box. Their goal is to provide a united presence, which is heard loud and clear, in this election and all future city and school board elections from now on.
Anthony Bond is the contact person for this diverse political coalition and he shared, “It has been demonstrated that if our diverse political coalition works with all the religious and secular leaders in the various diverse groups living in Irving, we can ensure our voices and votes make a big difference in all future city and school board elections. And that is exactly what we plan to do.”
The kickoff meeting for the Spring 2014 election season is 7 p.m. at 2700 Finley on Jan. 23. They are planning to discuss potential candidates the coalition is interested in supporting. They will also discuss issues facing Irving in the future that believe they can support.
