Simmons leads Perez in Mansfield Place 5 early voting results
Todd Simmons declared victory in the Mansfield City Council Place 5 race over opponent Melisa Perez on Saturday night after the final unofficial polling data came in. Simmons led with 62.64% of the Tarrant County unofficial results over Perez's 37.36% in the race. Johnson County unofficial polling data shows Simmons with 333 votes over Perez's 58. In Ellis County, unofficial election results show Simmons as having 75.86% of the 29 votes cast. The Saturday runoff election was the result of no one candidate receiving more than 50% of the votes on May 3. There were four candidates on the ballot in May: Eric Rozak, Lance Hood, Simmons and Perez. Perez had 39.79% of the Tarrant County vote in Place 5, followed by Simmons with 35.58%, Hood with 15.57% and Rozak with 9.06%. Tarrant County saw 8,289 of the total 9,495 voters for the Place 5 race. In Ellis County, Simmons has 42.62% of the vote, Perez has 29.51%, Hood has 16.39% and Rozak has 11.48%. In Johnson County, Simmons leads with 45.43%, followed by Hood with 25.12%, Perez with 21.70% and Rozak with 7.76%. The candidate who wins will take over the position for Julie Short, who won the seat in 2018. Short left the post before her term expired to run for Mansfield mayor against incumbent Michael Evans but lost. Simmons, a financial adviser, ran to help guide Mansfield's path as the city grows. He said in a Star-Telegram survey that his top three policy priorities would be to fully evaluate any project proposed for fiscal and community impact; strive for diversifying the tax base and continue to lower the tax rate; and ensure public safety and municipal employees are earning a competitive salary. He said that when he saw the early voting results, he was 'jumping up and down' with glee. He said he thinks he's 'got a real chance.' 'I tried not to react to a lot of the negative stuff that was being said and just focus on what my priorities were, what my plans were going to be if I did get elected,' Simmons said. 'And I really think it resonated with people in Mansfield. I think they're just tired of the ugly, mean, nasty campaigns and just wanted to see change.' Simmons said that if elected, his first priority is to start working with the city council to bring in new businesses, diversify the tax base and make sure that any new developments are properly approved. 'What this current council is trying to do is work with property owners and new businesses to come to town to try to negotiate deals, or not negotiate deals, but put deals together to try to get some of these pre-approved developments off the books,' Simmons said. 'And so I definitely think we need to work on that, because the city cannot request a zoning change from a property owner. It's not legal. The property owner has to do that.' Perez, an entrepreneur, ran for Place 5 promising to ensure responsible growth, strengthen public safety and support local businesses. Her website says her 'leadership is defined by her unwavering commitment to fairness and ethical integrity.' It also says she has a strong 'belief in consistency and accountability,' which shapes her decision making and community service.

Tesla shareholders face staggering new hurdle after company enacts controversial policy: 'A formidable barrier'
Tesla raised the bar for shareholders to sue the company board or executives for breach of fiduciary duties. The change took effect May 15 and requires an investor or group of investors to hold 3% of the electric vehicle maker's stock "to institute or maintain a derivative proceeding," CNBC reported. Tesla's market cap is $1.123 trillion, so a plaintiff would have to own shares worth $33.7 billion. "Obviously, for a company of Tesla's size, that would be a formidable barrier to anyone bringing a lawsuit for breach of fiduciary duty," Tulane Law School's Ann Lipton told CNBC in an email. The change was enabled by a Texas law that "allows corporations to limit shareholder lawsuits against insiders for breach of fiduciary duty," the outlet added. With shareholder approval, Tesla moved its incorporation site from Delaware to the Lone Star State in June 2024. An investor who owned nine shares of Tesla stock sued the company in 2018, and CEO Elon Musk's $56 billion compensation package was revoked in January 2024. Musk is by far the richest person on the planet, and his wealth makes him nearly untouchable. He helped to pioneer the EV movement by becoming an early investor in Tesla in 2003, and the company has been known for innovative technology and industry-leading breakthroughs. Recently, however, the South African has drawn criticism for straying into American and European politics, including spending lavishly on the U.S. presidential election campaign of Donald Trump, leading government spending cuts as the head of the U.S. Department of Government Efficiency, and supporting the far-right Alternative for Germany party. Activists have protested these actions, and Tesla charging stations, vehicles, and dealerships have been vandalized. Sales have plummeted, and Tesla stock spiraled downward, too, though it has regained much of its value. This upheaval and the larger perception change of Musk from groundbreaker to villain could stifle the uptake of EVs, which is one of the many things necessary to slow the rapid rise of global temperatures caused by the burning of fossil fuels for energy. It would take a massive coalition of shareholders to fight back against this move by Tesla, though companies are generally amenable to public pressure — especially when it comes to consumers' spending power. Tesla, for example, is shifting its focus from EV manufacturing to a robotaxi service and robotics to stabilize its future. Musk has a history of not delivering on outlandish promises, but it has not significantly slowed the company or deterred its supporters. What do you think of Tesla and Elon Musk?
