On this week’s edition of WFAA-TV’s Inside Texas Politics with host Jason Whitely and the Fort Worth Star-Telegram‘s Bud Kennedy, the focus is on North Texas, where both Dallas and neighboring Arlington had elections Saturday. Dallas incumbent Mayor Mike Rawlings won in a landslide, taking 73 percent of the vote, while in Arlington Jeff Williams will be the next mayor after beating incumbent Robert Cluck — the first time that’s happened in 64 years.

Also: the mayor and mayor-elect weigh in on opposition in the state Legislature to the bullet train that would connect their cities to Fort Worth and Houston; local vs. state control is discussed from North Texas cities’ perspective; Arlington votes to ban red light cameras; former U.S. Congressman and Speaker of the House Jim Wright is remembered, and more.
