Dinger’s candidacy for Tyler’s District 2 City Council seat threatens to unravel decades of progress toward racial equity and democratic integrity within a district specifically designed to empower the Black community. This not only risks a return to imbalances that the district was created to eliminate but also sets a troubling precedent that could fundamentally alter the political landscape, with significant repercussions for democratic governance and social equity.
