My name is Laura Cadena, and I am a proud 4th-generation Texan, lifelong Dallas resident and Baylor graduate. My family has called District 6 home for over 80 years, shaping my values, resilience, and deep commitment to service. My father is a Navy veteran who served on the USS Forrestal and my mother worked for the city. Public service, volunteerism and advocacy are at the core of who I am.

For nearly eight years, I served at City Hall, dedicated to addressing the needs of our community. Many of you entrusted me with advocating for the issues that matter most, and I have gained a deep understanding of how government can work hand in hand with the community to create real change. I know what it takes to lead with integrity, vision and impact.

I am running for Dallas City Council District 6 because our community deserves an experienced, effective leader with a proven track record. On May 3rd, we will choose who will stand up for our district and lead us into the future. If you believe we need a leader who is fully committed and ready to deliver real results, I ask for your support. It would be an honor to earn your vote and be your voice on the Dallas City Council.
