Property taxes in Fort Worth are out of control. Families who have lived in their homes for decades are being pushed out—not because they want to leave, but because they can’t afford to stay. A city should never tax its residents out of their own neighborhoods. District 6 deserves leadership that puts people before unchecked spending.

Fort Worth is a wonderful city that I love—but too many Fort Worth residents are being squeezed by rising property taxes, rising appraisals, and a City Hall that keeps asking homeowners to shoulder the burden.

For seniors on fixed incomes, working families, lower income families, and longtime residents, the fear is real: “Can I still afford my home next year?”
That simply is not acceptable.

I am running for Fort Worth City Council, District 6 because residents deserve better—better transparency, better fiscal discipline, and better protection for homeowners who built this community.

The Problem

  • Property values are rising faster than incomes

  • Tax bills increase even when services don’t

  • Seniors lower and middle-class families are at risk of being priced out

  • City budgets grow while residents are told to “adjust”

This isn’t sustainable—and it isn’t fair.

The Plan

1. Stop Taxing People Out of Their Homes

  • Fight for lower property tax rates when appraisals rise

  • Prioritize tax relief for seniors, veterans, lower income, and fixed-income homeowners

  • Push back on automatic budget growth that ignores resident hardship

2. Demand Fiscal Discipline at City Hall

  • Require clear justification for every tax increase

  • Audit spending and eliminate waste before raising taxes

  • Focus on essential services—not pet projects

3. Protect Neighborhood Stability

  • Keep residents in their homes

  • Ensure growth benefits current residents, not just developers

  • Preserve the character and affordability of District 6 neighborhoods

4. Transparency and Accountability

  • Plain-language budgets residents can actually understand

  • Open communication about how tax dollars are spent

  • A council member who answers to residents.

Values

  • Homes are not cash machines for government

  • Growth should not mean displacement

  • Residents come before revenue

  • A city works best when it listens to its people

Fort Worth should be a city where you can work hard, raise a family, retire with dignity—and stay in the home you earned.

Fort Worth residents deserve leadership that understands the fear of opening a tax bill and wondering if this is the year you’re forced out.

I’m running to protect our homes, respect our residents, and bring common sense back to City Hall.

Together, we can make Fort Worth work for the people who live here—not price them out.

Common sense—It works.
