Mia Hall sworn in after Fort Worth council certifies District 6 runoff

The Fort Worth City Council on a special called motion certified the runoff election held June 7, 2025 and sworn Mia Hall in as the representative for District 6 after the county-certified returns showed Hall received 57.09% of the vote.

The canvass matter came before the council during a short session in which staff presented the certification of tabulation from Tarrant County. After the certification was presented and one public speaker addressed the council, a motion to adopt the resolution canvassing the returns was made, seconded and carried, and Mayor Parker invited Hall to the dais for the oath of office and presentation of a certificate of election.

The certification of tabulation was announced aloud to the council and public. "As a result of the election, the following person is hereby declared elected, council member District 6, Mia Hall, with 57.09% of the vote," staff told the council. The transcript records one speaker signed up on the resolution; Adrianne Smith addressed Hall directly before the formal vote and swearing.

Adrianne Smith, who identified herself as a District 6 resident and a participant on the campaign trail, congratulated Hall while urging accountability. "From the various political forums we both had in honor of being part of, you've gained insight and understanding ... Now is the time for execution. The people of District 6 have heard enough excuses from this governmental body," Smith said. Smith also raised concerns about endorsements and donor relationships, asking, "Which are which are you beholden to more if either?"

After the motion passed, Mayor Parker asked Hall to join him and the Honorable Glenn Lewis at the dais. Hall placed her hand on a Bible and recited the oath of office administered in the meeting. Following the oath, Hall delivered brief remarks thanking family, campaign staff and District 6 residents and saying she would focus on service, integrity and community. "I am so deeply honored to have earned the confidence of my neighbors across District 6 and honored to serve as your newly elected councilwoman," Hall said.

Council members offered congratulations from the dais. Councilman Beck noted the moment's historic nature, saying that, "for the first time in Fort Worth's history, we have a majority of women here on council." Council members Nettles and Peoples also welcomed Hall and expressed support for her service.

The council adjourned the special session and said it would return later for the regular public comment period at 6 p.m.
