“We must stabilize property taxes, bring down insurance costs and pass policy that promotes affordable entry level home ownership. I also believe we need to encourage regional planning that optimizes housing while ensuring livability and responsible growth.” (Community Impact Candidate Q&A (September 1, 2026))
“I’ve spent my career caring for women and families as an obstetrician — and delivering real solutions as a community leader. As President of our Limited District and a two-term Planning Commissioner, I’ve protected our neighborhoods, strengthened local infrastructure, and stood up for our households — not special interests.” (Campaign website (drjenfortexas.com))
“Reduce recapture, fund our schools, invest in teachers and classrooms, and ensure every student has the opportunity to succeed.” (Campaign website (drjenfortexas.com))
