Julie Holmer is a relationship builder with broad bipartisan support. In a time where our city is often divided with polarizing viewpoints, Julie Holmer believes that Plano must have council members willing to listen to everyone and committed to understanding what the actual issues are.
Julie has spent the past 40 years growing up, growing her career, and now she and her husband are raising their family in Plano. There is nowhere else she can imagine living! She has invested in learning about her city by graduating from Leadership Plano, and also the Citizens Police and Fire academies. She's served on many nonprofit boards and committees and is very active on her PTA board. She was appointed by city council to the 2020 Complete Count Census committee and served on its marketing subcommittee.
Julie's family owned a restaurant in downtown Plano, so she knows the challenges that come with owning a brick & mortar. She learned how to navigate some of the small business challenges, such as getting building permits, inspections, and a certificate of occupancy. She is an advocate for small businesses and doesn't want the city to ever be an obstacle making it difficult for our small businesses to be successful.
Julie wants to keep Plano's culture strong. We are a professionally managed and diverse city that embraces the arts and education and is an accepting and inclusive city for all.
Plano is EVERYONE's Neighborhood!- Keep Plano Safe: Funding our first responders must always be a TOP priority.
- Maintaining Plano's Infrastructure: We should invest in our streets, our parks, libraries and facilities in a financially responsible manner.
- Julie has grown up WITH Plano and wants any further growth to be thoughtfully planned and managed with community input.
Policies that help us attract businesses to choose Plano as their home. By attracting new businesses, we are creating jobs and we are lessening the property tax burden on our residents. Additionally, if these businesses bring in out of town travelers, we are bringing in sales tax dollars and hotel taxes which help to fund our Convention and Visitors Bureau which helps to fund the Arts in Plano.
