With early voting open, bringing this back to the timeline. The benefits of closed primaries go way beyond just stopping crossover voting between parties.

Look at the economic impact: a projected $100B GDP boost and 650K new jobs. Who wouldn't want this?

[Metroplex Civic & Business Association @mcbadfw]

@MontyBennett A good reminder to go out and vote in the primary election's happening right now!

Google invests $1B into data centers in North Texas and confirms what most of us already know: DFW is one of the most important places in the country for data and AI, along with everything else.

More jobs, more investment, more momentum.

Dallas keeps proving why companies want to build here.

[Metroplex Civic & Business Association @mcbadfw]

@MontyBennett And DFW is at the cornerstone of it all!

[Monty Bennett @MontyBennett]

Freedom isn’t free. Today, we pause to honor every American who’s worn the uniform and defended our nation with pride and resolve.

Thank you to every veteran who’s served to protect this country, and a special thanks to the incredible former armed service members seen here who helped lead our recent MCBA Shootout event with unmatched precision and heart.

[Metroplex Civic & Business Association @mcbadfw]

Every vote shapes the city we live in.

But today, your voice carries extra weight, local turnout is small, which means your single vote can move mountains.

Don’t wait for a presidential year to matter.

Vote today. Own your impact.

In September, Downtown Dallas recorded a crime score 10.7x higher than Downtown Fort Worth’s, including 40x more thefts, 8x more assaults, and 16x more drug violations.

At MCBA, we’re focused on data that drives real solutions because restoring public confidence starts with transparency and action.

See the chart, share it with your team, and join the movement for measurable safety wins in our downtowns.

My incredible wife, @Sarah_Z_Bennett, did an excellent job highlighting two powerhouses shaping Dallas’ future: Richard Baker of Saks Global & Neiman Marcus and Nicole Chambers of the Texas Stock Exchange.

Her recap of @mcbadfw's luncheon and the @DallasExpress feature on her conversation with Richard are both worth your time. Proud of the work she’s doing to bring these stories forward.

[The Dallas Express News @DallasExpress]

🎤 MCBA’s Leadership Luncheon at Perry’s Steakhouse showcased Saks Global’s Richard Baker on Neiman Marcus’ future & Dallas’ revival. “Stanley Marcus wouldn’t close the downtown store,” Baker said, teasing major reinvestment. @mcbadfw
