Campaign themes
2015
The following quote is from McVey's campaign website:
| “ | The problem is that we aren't a small town anymore--we have incredible assets: the Port, the Medical Center, major academic institutions, parks and trails, the petroleum industry--we are on track to be a hugely influential, international hub, still with a budget crisis, pension issues, drainage and flooding problems and crippling traffic.
This city needs attention. Not politics, not business as usual. There is no going back. Let's find a new path to prosperity that allows Houston to shine, that moves us forward. We need smart leadership, new ideas to take us where we need to go, to get Houston moving.[2] |
