Creating Continued Success for Carrollton
ANDREW PALACIOS IS A PROVEN COUNCILMEMBER WHO WHILE IN OFFICE FOLLOWED THROUGH ON HIS CAMPAIGN PROMISES TO:
✓ Lower taxes, with a particular emphasis on property taxes. Carrollton has lowered the property tax rate for nine consecutive years, and Andrew has been directly involved in this effort since he was first elected. In fact, as chair of the finance committee, he made the motion to lower the tax rate for the ninth consecutive time.
✓ Invest in our city's infrastructure, which is an essential step to ensure our community continues to thrive.
✓ Support our first responders. Recent events, such as the fentanyl drug crisis, have highlighted the importance of maintaining a strong public safety presence in our community.
IF RE-ELECTED, ANDREW WILL CONTINUE TO FIGHT TO:
Reduce property taxes
Prioritize essential services such as police and fire protection.
Advocate for market-based infrastructure solutions
Avoid new spending programs
Bring further transparency to the tax assessment process
Preserve Carrollton’s way of life and values
