The incumbent Dallas County Commissioner for District 2 is part of a 5–0 One-Party Democratic insider club that includes personal injury law firm interests, radical associations, and questionable contracts. This machine aligns with groups tied to organizations designated by Texas Republicans, burdens taxpayers with unapproved debt, and puts special interests and ideology ahead of District 2. Barry will bring real oversight with no conflicts and no radical associations. In 1776 we fought to be citizens, not subjects.

Metrocare: $600,000 for Interim CFO While Facing $18 Million Projected Loss

QUICK FACTS
THE FULL RECORD
The incumbent commissioner attacked Barry for protecting precinct voting while celebrating mosques tied to CAIR networks as polling places. Before joining the court, he served as personal attorney for County Judge Clay Jenkins, defending executive orders that mandated masks and shut down small businesses. He maintains law firm conflicts — his own firm works cases in the courts he funds, a clear conflict under Texas Ethics Opinion 530. He links official communications to Marxist sources like “Fight Back! News,” participates in CECS events, and testified against squatter reform because it might burden taxpayers. He is part of a 5–0 Democratic machine that hides in executive session, passes $350 million in debt without debate or voter approval — debt that will cost us $700 million — and burdens homeowners and taxpayers while protecting special interests. District 2 needs a real independent watchdog with no conflicts and no radical associations. In 1776 we fought to be citizens, not subjects.
Safer neighborhoods, more money in your pocket, real ethics in government, and a government that serves you — not the other way around.
VISION STATEMENT
Barry offers independent leadership focused on limiting government, not the people. He will bring real oversight, zero conflicts of interest, and strong protection for election integrity and Texas sovereignty.
While the current commissioner has aligned himself with radical networks, insider interests, and big-government spending, Barry will fight for safer neighborhoods, fiscal responsibility, and government that actually serves District 2 families.
LIMIT GOVERNMENT, NOT PEOPLE
This is the future Barry will fight for. In 1776 we fought to be citizens, not subjects. Let’s bring that spirit back to District 2.

Dallas County Borrows $350 Million By Tracey McManus, Dallas Morning News May 20, 2026
INCUMBENT OPPOSED PRACTICAL SQUATTER REFORM
The incumbent commissioner admits squatters are trespassers but fought to protect government spending over property owners.
In his March 2025 official newsletter, the incumbent commissioner testified against House Bill 32 and stated:
“I agree that landlords should not have the burden, but this bill is not addressing the squatter issue, instead it will be a burden on Dallas County and its taxpayers.”
He pushed for more taxpayer-funded legal aid and rental assistance instead.

CLEAR CALL FOR FISCAL RESPONSIBILITY
While homeowners fight to keep more of their hard-earned money, the 5–0 machine treats District 2 like an ATM. Barry will fight to stop the blank-check borrowing and demand real fiscal responsibility.
A Dallas County commissioner whose law firm practices in county courts has a conflict because the Commissioners Court controls the budget and purse strings for those courts.
Key Points:
CLEAR NEED FOR INDEPENDENT WATCHDOG
Before joining the court, the incumbent commissioner was County Judge Clay Jenkins’ personal attorney. Now they serve together while his firm, Jenkins’ firm ties, and Domingo Garcia’s firm all practice in the courts the court funds.
This is the appearance of an insider club — not independent oversight. District 2 deserves a commissioner with zero divided loyalties.
STATE BAR OF TEXAS ETHICS OPINION 530
Questions Presented:
Is it a conflict of interest for an Attorney (“Attorney”) who is an elected county commissioner of Dallas County to practice law in the justice, statutory county, and district courts in Dallas County?
If Attorney has a conflict of interest, is it imputed to all members of his or her law firm?
Conclusion:
Attorney who is a county commissioner would violate Rule 1.06(b)(2) by representing a private client in any justice, statutory county, or district courts in that county in the absence of effective consent by all affected or potentially affected clients as required by Rule 1.06(c).
This conflict of interest also applies to all attorneys associated with the Attorney’s law firm.
The incumbent commissioner publicly took credit for making IANT (Islamic Association of North Texas) and Madinah Masjid permanent voting locations and claimed they helped Democrats win close races.
Key Facts:
THE INCUMBENT ADVANCES THE RED-GREEN ALLIANCE
The incumbent takes credit for setting up polling locations at mosques that helped put Democrats over the top. At the same time, he aligns himself with networks that Governor Abbott, the Republican Party of Texas, and the Dallas County Republican Party have officially designated as terrorist organizations. Polling shows that tens of thousands of Democrats in this district disapprove of far-left figures like Zohran Mamdani and Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez.
The incumbent’s own official county January-February 2026 newsletter linked to “Fight Back! News” — a Marxist-Leninist outlet that promotes revolution — and he has participated in CECS events. Both are documented on his taxpayer-funded government website.
His actions advance the very Marxist and Islamist networks that even many Democrats are now rejecting.
VIOLATION OF OATH OF OFFICE CONCERNS
Under the Texas Constitutional Oath, a County Commissioner swears to faithfully execute their duties and preserve, protect, and defend the Constitution and laws of Texas. Commissioners also sign an anti-bribery statement.
Using official authority to set up and celebrate polling locations in institutions tied to designated organizations — while claiming they help determine partisan winners — raises serious questions about neutrality and the appearance of impropriety.
ATTACKED PRECINCT VOTING WHILE WEAKENING ELECTION INTEGRITY
While the incumbent pushed election systems that weaken ballot secrecy and auditability, he joined the Commissioners Court in attacking Barry’s efforts to protect convenient, walkable precinct-based polling places across District 2.
Barry led the fight to safeguard the constitutional right to a secret ballot for all voters — Democrats, Republicans, and independents alike.
