Former Fort Worth City Council member Kathleen Hicks and Roderick Miles are headed to a runoff in the the Democratic primary for the Tarrant County commissioner Precinct 1 seat.

With all 200 vote centers reporting, Hicks has 36.87% of the vote, Miles has 31.55%, Mia Hall has 24.78%. and Darryl Brewer has 6.80%, according to unofficial results. The runoff is May 28.

The seat, set to be vacated by Roy Brooks after two decades, represents southwest Tarrant County. Miles is the executive administrator for Brooks.

Hicks, the youngest woman to serve on the Fort Worth City Council, was elected in 2005 and served until 2012, when she ran for Congress and lost to Rep. Marc Veasey in the Democratic primary.

Hicks said the three biggest issues in he race are health care, infrastructure and public safety.

In an interview with the Star-Telegram on Tuesday night Hicks said she thinks that her door to door campaigning contributed to her success.

“My opponent going into the runoff had a lot of endorsements, but the people had another,” Hicks said.

Hicks added that she believes her record on the Fort Worth City Council will propel her in the runoff.

“This next chapter of this race is going to be about who has firm work of being a change agent, not someone who has worked under a leader, someone who at the age of 32 was elected as the youngest city council person in Fort Worth history and got out there and made significant change,” Hicks said.

Brooks endorsed his executive administrator Miles when he announced his retirement in September.

Miles has served as Brooks executive administrator for the past decade.

“We’ve got some early results. and those results look like we’re going to be heading into a runoff,” Miles said, addressing his supporters—including Brooks— at his watch party at Blank Space on Tuesday.

“I am not upset, I am not discouraged, disappointed, I believe God. That’s right. We’re going to win.”

Miles said the three most important issues in the race to him are health care, the county jail and rising property taxes.

“I’ve got the support. I’ve been endorsed by the current county commissioner, I understand county government and I’m from the community and I’ve been committed to this community my entire life,” Miles told the Star-Telegram in an interview Tuesday night.

Miles said he is “cautiously optimistic” about the pending runoff election.

Miles said that Brooks also shared some advice with him tonight as results came in.

“’Keep plowing, keep pushing and it’s just time to roll up our sleeves and work harder’,” Miles said.

Crowley school board member Mia Hall said the key issues are heal care, affordable housing and criminal justice reform.

“Joining this race was an opportunity for me to expand my impact and service while bringing my lived experiences to the table in an effort to move our County forward,” Hall said in a statement Wednesday

“The voters have spoken, and I’d be remiss if I didn’t thank each and every person who voted in this election, and more importantly those who believed enough in my vision to ultimately support me.”

Darryl Brewer, a local business owner, listed the county jail, infrastructure and health care as key issues in the race.
