MEET ERIk with a "K"
Putting Leadership into Action
Erik Wilson, a proud native of Oak Cliff and a lifelong advocate for his community, has lived the story of Dallas District 8. From growing up in Alta Mesa, attending Kennedy-Curry Middle School (now Royce West Leadership Academy), and graduating from the Business Management Center High School, Erik’s roots run deep in this community. For 25 years, he has called District 8 home and remains an active, proud member of Friendship-West Baptist Church. Erik’s journey to running for city council began with wanting to be a change agent.
As a young man, he rode the city bus to school and Red Bird Mall, passing the same empty fields and aging buildings that still exist today. Later, experiences in other cities opened his eyes to communities with smooth streets, thriving parks, clean environments, and diverse dining and grocery options. When Erik asked who was responsible for shaping such vibrant communities, he was told, “Your city councilperson.” That moment ignited a spark. Erik realized District 8 deserved the same.
