Dallas Hispanic PAC's Choice for City Council, District 13 - Ann Margolin

By Angel L. Reyes, III

As I mentioned in an entry last week, I recently chaired the Dallas Hispanic PAC meeting where many Dallas City Council candidates explained their positions and asked for our support. You can see the full list of candidates we're supporting on my 4/21 blog entry but I'd like to take a moment to elaborate on the Dallas Hispanic PAC's choice for City Council, District 13 – Ann Margolin.

I have personally met with Ann on several occasions and have known of her community involvement and work in and around Dallas. I thoroughly believe she will be a wonderful addition to the City Council and will be well respected among her colleagues and peers.

Ann brings tremendous experience to this position. She has served on the Dallas City Park Board and was instrumental in fighting crime and reducing drug traffic at and around our neighborhood parks. She has been active in the North Dallas Chamber of Commerce - she was appointed to the Commission by Kay Bailey Hutchison in the 1990's. Lately, Ann has been extremely active with the Parkland Hospital Board and has also spent several years on the Dallas City Planning and Zoning Commission.

Ann's resume is quite impressive - her business experience as the founding partner of a general insurance agency (where she oversaw agents in 23 states), together with her experience in her own investment real estate company provide her with the necessary background and experience to help the City of Dallas remain fiscally responsible and viable.

Ann has tremendous voluntary experience on numerous public and non-profit boards in addition to those boards mentioned already (i.e., the Dallas Park and Recreation Board, Dallas City Plan Commission, and Parkland Memorial Hospital) such as the Safer Dallas Better Dallas Board, World Affairs Council, Southwestern Medical Foundation, Parkland Foundation, Zale Lipshy University Hospital, North Dallas Chamber of Commerce, Temple Emanuel,  Texas Woman's University Business School and several others.

Ann has lived in Dallas for more than 30 years and has lived in District 13 for more than 25 years. No doubt, she will bring her varied background and wise business acumen to the Council and be a tremendous asset to our great city. That's why the Dallas Hispanic Political Action Committee supports Ann Margolin for City Council, District 13 and I'm proud to say that I personally endorse this outstanding candidate.
