Caraway visits Willie Mae Spencer, an elderly woman who spoke at the Multipurpose Center. She ushers the candidate around the area in her Taurus, pointing out neighborhood ills. But the drugs first because they are dangerous. The drugs are what get their heads bad. Back in her sauna-hot home, Spencer serves up Cokes with ice.
Caraway promises to call city agencies and demand a stop sign at a busy intersection nearby.
I'll be saving someone's life. It's a Monday night at the North Oak Cliff library branch, and the League of Women Voters won't let Williams speak at their candidates' debate. It turns out he mistakenly faxed his application to the wrong office. League representatives are adamant that he not sit with Caraway, Oakley, Beckles and Lynn until Tim Dickey, a North Dallas activist who lives in the district, stands up to protest. The women, who run a tight ship for their voter education programs, eventually concede after a show of hands by the audience.
