Campaign Synopsis
Conly Brewer is running for Fort Worth City Council in District 6 to restore common-sense fiscal responsibility and put taxpayers first. A resident of District 6, Brewer believes city government should focus on its core responsibilities—safe streets, reliable infrastructure, public safety, and responsible budgeting.
Brewer’s campaign centers on a simple principle: Fort Worth should live within its means. With the city’s budget now exceeding $3 billion and an $845 million bond proposal before voters, Brewer has raised concerns about the growing reliance on long-term debt and interest payments that ultimately fall on local taxpayers.
A consistent voice at City Hall, Brewer has spoken at council meetings to advocate for transparency, fiscal discipline, and protecting taxpayers. He has been a vocal opponent of Fort Worth Proposition G, arguing that doubling council salaries moves the city away from the citizen-servant model envisioned in the city charter.
Brewer believes that when the city collects more tax revenue than expected, the surplus should be returned to residents rather than used to expand government spending. His campaign calls for lowering property taxes and giving back excess revenue to the taxpayers who earned it.
As part of his commitment to accountability, Brewer has signed a District 6 Taxpayer Contract, pledging that he will never vote to raise taxes or city rates if elected. If he does then he won’t seek reelection.
Brewer has also made a personal pledge regarding compensation. If voters approve the proposed council pay raise and he is elected, he will honor the previous council salary and donate half of his council pay each month to Meals on Wheels of Tarrant County to support seniors in the community.
Brewer’s campaign is built around four key priorities:
Fiscal Responsibility
Conduct a forensic audit of the city’s multi-billion-dollar budget to identify waste and refocus spending on essential services.
Lower Property Taxes
Use surplus revenue and responsible budgeting to reduce the property tax burden on Fort Worth homeowners.
Reduce Debt and Stop Over-Borrowing
Move toward a “cash-first” approach for core infrastructure and reduce the long-term interest costs taxpayers must pay to banks.
Restore Citizen-Servant Government
Protect the Fort Worth charter’s vision of community members serving their city rather than turning council seats into career political offices.
Brewer is running a grassroots campaign focused on transparency, fiscal discipline, and restoring trust between Fort Worth residents and City Hall.
