Bowie Hogg is recommended for the Arlington City Council District 7 at-large seat due to his insight, experience, and pragmatic approach to governance. He is well-equipped to address the infrastructure needs and manage major events in the city.
Governing a city like Arlington is a constant balancing act between addressing the infrastructure and quality-of-life needs of 390,000 residents and managing a major economic magnet in the entertainment district , which brings tens of thousands of out-of-towners weekly to sports events, music concerts and theme parks.
In the race for the Arlington City Council District 7 at-large seat, we recommend Bowie Hogg. The incumbent has the insight and experience to steer Arlington through growing pains and to tackle the planning for major events that will test the city, including the MLB All-Star Game this summer and nine FIFA World Cup matches in 2026. Arlington’s AT&T Stadium is hosting the most World Cup matches of any single site.
A major logistical challenge for Arlington is the upcoming MLB All-Star game, which many view as a test run for the FIFA World Cup. Hogg, who is also a board member of the North Central Texas Council of Governments, supportsto bring international fans to the event via the Trinity Rail Express and energy-efficient buses. He said that thinking about public safety at the event keeps him awake at night.
Dobson, 45, has unsuccessfully run for office several times. In an interview with us, he demonstrated that he is well-informed on policy issues and that he follows local government closely. Dobson agreed with Hogg in several areas, but he criticized what he views as the council’s inadequate communication with and consideration of residents.
Dobson, however, was unable to make a compelling case for why Hogg shouldn’t be reelected. Voters should return Hogg to office..
