In Memory: Darlene Ewing

Hon. Darlene Ewing, who helped usher in an era of sweeping political change during her decade-long tenure as Dallas County Democratic Party Chair, passed away peacefully today, Friday, November 16, 2018, surrounded by her family. A well-known family lawyer, Ewing became Party Chair just before the 2006 election cycle. Democrats went on to mount a coordinated campaign led by Ewing that resulted in a complete sweep of all county offices. Ewing went on to lead the party for several more cycles before stepping down as Chair and successfully running for Judge. At the time of her passing, Ewing presided over the 254th Family District Court. 

We hope you can join us to honor the memory of past Dallas County Democratic Party (DCDP) Chair, Judge Darlene Ewing, who passed away on Friday, November 16, 2018.
