KEVIN'S TOP PRIORITIES
DENTON COUNTY'S FAITHFUL LEADER
Cut Our Tax Burden
Kevin earned a reputation as a taxpayer champion in his time as Mayor of Carrollton–cutting the tax rate 6 years in a row by implementing common sense reforms that cut waste and increased transparency in government. Now Kevin is running for County Commissioner to bring those same business best practices to the county and ensure our hard-earned tax dollars are never wasted.
Fight Inflation
As a businessman, Kevin has seen first-hand the devastating effects of rising energy prices and rapid Inflation are having on our economy and hardworking Texans. Kevin will work to support Texas families and small businesses by cutting red tape and excessive taxes to help bring down the cost of living and encourage the growth of our local economy.
Strengthen Public Safety
Keeping our families safe is the number one job for any level of government. As Mayor, Kevin invested in better police training and technology, crime fell 40%. And Carrollton was named among the Safest Cities Nationwide. As our County Commissioner, Kevin will ensure that the Sheriff’s department has the resources it needs to serve all citizens of Denton County. Kevin will also instruct county law enforcement to work with state and federal partners to stem the tide of drug and human trafficking coming across the southern border.
Reduce Traffic
Denton County is one of the fastest growing in the state of Texas. That growth brings opportunity and quality jobs but also strains our infrastructure. As a member of the NCTCOG Regional Transportation Council, Kevin has been a leader in ensuring that transportation providers are working together and planning long term to meet the needs of our communities. Kevin will use his experience as our next commissioner to improve our infrastructure and reduce traffic, so we spend more time with our families and less on the road.
Election Integrity
Free and fair elections are the bedrock that this nation is founded upon. Unfortunately, Kevin has seen first-hand the depths that some people will go to undermine our government. During his 2020 mayoral campaign, his opponent was arrested and charged with over 100 felonies relating to a failed plot to steal seniors’ votes. As our next County Commissioner, Kevin will support policies and technology improvements that make it easier to vote and harder to cheat.

| Collapse all
I’m running for this position because God granted me the gift of service, and I’ve found that serving the public in elected office has been a great way to exercise that gift. I’m a proven servant leader who leads with integrity and strength of character. In my years of service, I’ve forged strong relationships with leaders across not only Denton County but the entire North Texas region. Those relationships have led to endorsements by so many of those with whom I’ve served, including the entire Denton County Commissioner’s Court, Sheriff Tracy Murphree and over 70 Denton County leaders. These endorsements provide assurance that I’m truly a servant leader who can get things done.
- I want to cut our tax burden on Denton County residents. I’m proud that as an elected official I’ve NEVER voted for a tax rate increase, and, in Carrollton, we’ve cut tax rates eight years in a row and have reduced debt by 20% in ten years. Fiscal responsibility and transparency are key to making sure that our citizen’s dollars are used in the most efficient and effective way possible.
- I want Denton County to be safe! Our most important job as elected officials is public safety, and I’m proud that in my years of service in Carrollton, we reduced crime by as much as 40%. We must make sure that Sheriff Murphree has the resources he needs to protect us and those who can’t protect themselves in Denton County.
- We must reduce traffic and congestion in Denton County. We’re fortunate that we are experiencing such rapid growth in Denton County, but that means more cars on our roads and people using the infrastructure. We have to build and maintain the infrastructure necessary to keep that positive growth possible.
