Fort Worth (WBAP/KLIF) – Two days after attending attending her final Fort Worth City Council meeting, former Fort Worth Mayor Betsy Price — the longest serving mayor for the city — says that she will run for Tarrant County Judge next year.

Price says that she’ll take a few months off before making the officials announcement. In 2018, Price was honored by the London-based City Mayors Foundation with the title of Mayor of Distinction. She was among 50 other female mayors world-wide who had been nominated for the World Mayor Prize.
