Who are you? Tell us about yourself.

Lee Henderson is a Fort Worth native, an experienced servant leader. He grew up in Ridgmar and currently resides in the North Hi Mount neighborhood.

A community leader with deep Fort Worth roots, Lee Henderson is proud of our city’s growth and knows we need strong leaders to ensure Fort Worth continues to work for us. A graduate of Arlington Heights High School, he came home to Fort Worth after college and built a manufacturing and technology company as the chief financial officer, creating hundreds of good-paying jobs. Lee currently serves as a national policy advocacy strategist, as well as a key advisor to many Fort Worth elected officials such as FWISD Trustee Ashley Paz and former Councilmember Kathleen Hicks.

Please list below 3 key messages of your campaign. What are the main points you want voters to remember about your goals for your time in office?

• Fixing Fort Worth’s broken infrastructure and improving roads and public transportation to reduce traffic and commute times.

• Easing property tax burdens on homeowners while strengthening essential services and public safety.
• Modernizing our government to ensure we have smart, sustainable growth and can attract new businesses that create good-paying jobs.

What areas of public policy are you personally passionate about?

I am most passionate about modernizing and improving highways and mass transportation, which is stuck in the mid 20th century. Commute times are out of control, and it’s incredibly clear that they are only getting worse. This includes increasing accessibility, timeliness, and affordability. Additionally improving and modernizing our public transportation includes gaining the trust of the public. Modernization if half the battle. Lastly, I will work with groups who have been organizing around this cause to understand how to best serve the community.
