Screen Time with Dallas Mayor Eric Johnson

Before becoming Mayor of Dallas, Eric Johnson was a Democratic member of the Texas House of Representatives, where he represented District 100, covering parts of both Dallas and Mesquite.

As part of our regular Screen Time feature, we will examine how some of the most interesting people in North Texas interact with technology.
