Notes on this record

How the lists were read, and what could not be.

Municipal: Mayor and 10 district Council Members (Districts 2-11; there is no District 1). www.fortworthtexas.gov returns Akamai 'Access Denied' (HTTP 403) to direct fetch, including robots.txt; not bypassed. The roster was read from the search-engine index of the city's own pages (https://www.fortworthtexas.gov/government/elected-officials, /government, each member's elected-officials page, and the city's 2025 Council District map PDF), retrieved 2026-10-15. District 10: Chris Jamieson won the 2026-05-02 special election (vacancy left by Alan Blaylock, who is running for Texas House District 93) and was sworn in 2026-05-12 (city elected-officials page; KERA News corroborates). Rows are not marked unofficial because their content is the city's own listing, but they could not be opened directly: re-verify when fortworthtexas.gov is reachable. No city photos, emails or member-page terms captured for the same reason. Fort Worth is a council-manager city; the City Manager, City Attorney, City Secretary and City Auditor are appointed, so there is no other city-wide elected office. Municipal offices are non-partisan.
Next Fort Worth municipal general election: Mayor and all 10 council seats on Saturday 2027-05-01 (Texas uniform May date, odd years; two-year terms; runoff in June 2027 if needed). The city held a 2026-05-02 special election (District 10) and charter amendment questions (council pay; outcome not verified from an official source). No City of Fort Worth offices are on the 2026-11-03 ballot.
Congressional districts covering the city: Census TIGERweb polygon for Fort Worth city (place 4827000) sampled on a 160x160 grid (8,183 points inside the city). 120th Congress map (the 2025 Texas map used for the 2026 election): TX-12 (4,369 points), TX-25 (2,684), TX-24 (626), TX-26 (476), TX-6 (28, a small edge). 119th Congress map (the sitting members): TX-12 (4,206), TX-33 (2,232), TX-24 (625), TX-25 (623), TX-26 (497). The union (six districts) is listed as sitting members; candidates are captured only for the five 2025-map districts. TX-33 (Marc Veasey) leaves Fort Worth on the 2025 map; Veasey is not on the November ballot. Slivers smaller than the grid spacing (~0.3 km) could be missed.
City hall is 100 Fort Worth Trail (the street formerly named Energy Way; the Census geocoder does not yet know the new name, so city hall was geocoded as 100 Energy Way, 76102): Fort Worth city; TX-12 on the 120th Congress layer; 2026 State Senate District 9; 2026 State House District 95.
Sitting U.S. Representatives from https://www.house.gov/representatives (Texas table), retrieved 2026-10-15 (Marc Veasey TX-33 as in the merged us-dallas record from the same table). house.gov lists no photos; congress.gov/bioguide not used, so no federal photos are linked.
U.S. Senators (John Cornyn, Ted Cruz, both Republican): senate.gov returns HTTP 403 (also for robots.txt) in earlier runs; not retried or bypassed; carried from the merged us-dallas record. Cornyn is NOT on the November ballot; the seat is open (Ken Paxton R, James Talarico D, Ted Brown L).
State: Governor Greg Abbott (R) from the Texas SOS Statewide Elected Officials page, as in the merged us-dallas record (same day). City hall's districts and members: senate.texas.gov/member.php?d=9 (Taylor Rehmet, party printed 'Democrat', 'Senate Member: 2026 - present') and house.texas.gov/members/95 (Nicole Collier; the page does not print party - Democratic per the SOS list), retrieved 2026-10-15. Districts covering the city by the same grid: 5 Texas Senate (SD-9, 10, 12, 22, 30) and 14 Texas House districts (HD-58, 60, 63, 64, 65, 90, 91, 92, 93, 94, 95, 96, 97, 99); only city hall's are listed per the brief. SD-9 is on the 2026 ballot (Rehmet D vs Leigh Wambsganss R).
Candidates: Texas SOS Candidate Information (Civix 'goelect' public JSON endpoint findQualifiedCandidates, election 53815 '2026 NOVEMBER GENERAL ELECTION', office types FD and SR), the statewide download made for the us-dallas record on 2026-10-15 with addresses and emails already stripped. Kept: filing status CG with declaration accepted; dropped: write-ins (party W, e.g. several U.S. Senate and Governor write-ins) and rejected independent applications (Jade Simmons, U.S. Senate; Sarah Bowman Cunningham and Demetra Jefferson Wysinger, Governor). Names title-cased; printed form in ballotName / runningBallotName. Websites only where the SOS list prints one (Ted Brown). No standsFor captured.
Open seats on the 2026 ballot among those captured: U.S. Senate (Cornyn). Unopposed: Texas House District 95 (Nicole Collier, only qualified candidate).
Robots/terms: www.fortworthtexas.gov (403 Akamai, robots.txt unreadable; not bypassed), house.gov (allows /representatives), senate.texas.gov (allows member pages; disallows /_assets, /memberForm.php), house.texas.gov (allows all), geocoding.geo.census.gov (robots.txt 404), tigerweb.geo.census.gov (robots.txt request rejected by its firewall page, REST query service answered; public Census service), goelect.txelections.civixapps.com (no robots.txt; no terms shown). Photos are linked, not copied.
