Wernick Files For 108

Wernick files for 108 in a 2024 primary challenge to Morgan Meyer in the Park Cities/Preston Hollow district.

In a press release prior to Election Day 2023, Wernick cites Meyer’s connection to lobbyists and leftists. His announcement is below.

Wernick’s campaign site focuses on “liberty over tyranny”, “election integrity”, and “border security” among his top three listed issues. It is unclear if these are focal areas for voters in HD108.

Wernick previously ran for Dallas city council against Jaynie Schultz. That campaign was marred by doctored audio of his opponent.

Another question in his bid for the 108th is his mother, Diane Benjamin.

In 2021, she claimed on Nextdoor someone decapitated a squirrel and placed it on her property. Benjamin was then credited with hurting Candy Evans’ campaign for city council after hijacking a meeting on public safety.

Benajamin has been active in GOP politics for decades, but it isn’t clear what role, if any, she will play on the campaign.

Barry Wernick: The Smell Is Gone

On Saturday, Barry Wernick lost his race for Dallas City Council District 11 to Jaynie Schultz. On Sunday, he acted as if his campaign hadn’t played dirtythroughout the race.

Wernick claims in his Facebook post above that “we have it a good fight without resorting to name calling or personal attacks.” This statement is completely contradicted by his campaign team who admittred in a secret recording to creating fake Facebook posts to create a negative public safety image of the ultimate winner in the race, Jaynie Schultz.

Wacky Wernick Campaign All In For Trump Style Politics

The wacky Barry Wernick campaign continues emulating Donald Trump and his dirty tricks in a recently released video where his campaign team admits doctoring a Facebook photo to make runoff opponent Jaynie Schultz more liberal.

The video below makes clear the campaign knew it was doctoring a Facebook photo because they could not run on public safety effectively against Jaynie Schultz.

Schultz who has campaigned for increased accountability of Dallas Police also has said she supports increased interaction between Dallas Police, Richardson Police, and other first responders. She also tackles the growing issue of panhandling on the major thoroughfares through D11. Her website says she wants to “build trust and transparent communication to fight crime.”

Wernick Endorsements

Wernick was rumored to be an Eric Johnson/Keep Dallas Safe supported candidate, but one source says KDS is exasperated by the neophytes running the campaign and its general direction.

One person outside Keep Dallas Safe stated “the GQP has taken over Barry’s campaign with Brad Namdar preparing his Congressional run against Colin Allred and GOP State Chairman Allen West offering a low key endorsement to have a single Dallas City Council member viewed as “conservative.”

The source close to campaign discussions said, “Namdar thinks he is kingmaker despite him increasing the likelihood of Barry losing.”

He continued,” Their strategy is bewildering. In 2020, Biden won the district by almost twenty points, but here is Barry rushing to line up with the alt right instead of focusing on getting things done for the district.”
