Texas Tribune: “Texas is growing and continues to grow very, very rapidly, and companies continue to locate here,” [Sen. Johnson] said. “If we don't have affordable housing, that can't continue.”

Texas’ high housing costs sparked a movement to bring them down. The fight could shape the state for years to come. A new breed of activists wants Texas to tame costs by building more housing. But longstanding opposition to such policies remains strong.

Make no mistake: Dallas Ballot Propositions S, T, and U are a poison pill for the city of Dallas.

Vote AGAINST Propositions S, T, and U!

Made some waves at Bois d’Arc Lake, Texas's first major reservoir in over 30 years!

Owned and operated by the North Texas Municipal Water District (NTMWD), the lake provides vital drinking water to the growing region, including parts of Senate District 16. With plenty of opportunities for boating, fishing, hunting, and picnicking, it’s truly a unique asset.

Thank you to NTMWD for hosting on a legislative tour of the grounds.

Vote AGAINST Proposition S, T & U!

Prop U will tie the hands of our city officials and can, in one fell swoop, blow a colossal hole in the city's budget, crippling essential services. Cities need the flexibility to meet community needs.

This is BAD government!
