Eddie Bernice Johnson

Five Dallas leaders were honored Thursday with the Dallas Mayor’s first distinguished service awards.

Two recipients from opposite sides of the political aisle are longtime friends who put party differences aside for common goals at the Dallas mayor’s inaugural distinguished service awards. They are former U.S. Senator and Ambassador Kay Bailey Hutchison and retiring U.S. Congresswoman Eddie Bernice Johnson.

NBC News is reporting Jasmine Crockett is the projected winner in the U.S. House Dist. 30 race. Crockett was endorsed in March for the seat by its current occupant, retiring U.S. Rep. Eddie Bernice Johnson, a trailblazing Democrat in Texas who has served in Congress for nearly 30 years.

NBC 5’s Julie Fine and the Dallas Morning News’ Gromer Jeffers talk about the balance of power on election night and what may happen with the U.S. Congress.

While there aren’t expected to be a lot of surprises in the Texas congressional delegation after Election Day, there will be at least two new seats decided Tuesday.
