Council Recap: And Then There were Three

L to R: Jordan Noret, Jeff Davis, Daniel Burdette.

The Richardson City Council deliberated in executive session September 14, 2026, to winnow down the eight remaining applicants for the Place 3 position on the City Council, soon to be vacant because of the resignation of Council Member Dan Barrios. After just 12 minutes of deliberation, the Council returned to open session to name the three finalists, who are, in alphabetical order: Daniel Burdette, Jeff Davis, and Jordan Noret.

The Council will subject these three to a second round of interviews September 21, after which they will name a lone finalist.


"Eight sought council seat.
Three remained when doors opened.
One will claim the prize."

This is so wrong. Unbelievably wrong. Elections start again in Jan and constitution the people get to vote for ALL offices and Mayor. The charter cannot be inconsistent with the Constitution. But who cares right?

Take a constitutional government course. The constitution applies to the Federal government! NOT municipalities which operate under charters. Richardson is organized as a home rule city and defines it's procedures in the City Charter.
