KERA News
Dallas attorney Marcos Ronquillo announced he'll be throwing his hat into the mayoral race.

The top local stories this evening from the KERA Newsroom: The U.S. Department of Education says Southern Methodist University has violated Title IX. Also, Dallas Mayor Mike Rawlings will have a challenger in next year's municipal elections. We'll revisit some families KERA profiled in last year's One Crisis Away series, and listen to songs of refuge for civil rights protestors. 

You can listen to the segment weekdays at 6:20 p.m. and 8:20 a.m. on KERA 90.1 FM.

Former KERA staffer Krystina Martinez was an assistant producer. She produced local content for Morning Edition and KERANews.org. She also produced The Friday Conversation, a weekly series of conversations with North Texas newsmakers. Krystina was also the backup newscaster for the Texas Standard.
