My wife and I moved to McKinney in 1989 to build a home and start a family. Ultimately I moved my law practice here as well. I began volunteering in McKinney first at my church and my kids school and ultimately in city Government. I served on the City Council for six years beginning in 2002 and served as Mayor Pro Tem from 2004 to 2007.
During my tenure on Council we increased commercial project values from 44 million dollars per year to over 160 million. Our ½ cent sales tax revenues used to fund quality of life projects and economic development projects increased from $6 million dollars per year to 18 million dollars per year. We brought commercial projects to the city including EDS Corporate flight department at the airport which pays almost $2 million dollars per year in tax revenue for the benefit of the McKinney Independent School District and the city. We also approved expansions of Raytheon, Simpson Strong Tie, Tenet Tracker, Experien and Torchmark Insurance. We brought quality healthcare projects to McKinney including Regional Cancer Center, Methodist Hospital McKinney, Rita Talbert Cancer Center, Cirrus Healthcare and Cooper Clinic. We also approved zoning for new quality developments including Adriatica and Tucker Hill. We constructed 11 new parks, improved Old Settler's park and Finch Park and approved improvements to the Wilson Creek Soccer Complex and Craig Ranch Soccer Complex. We also initiated infrastructure improvements in downtown, the airport, east side of McKinney and partnered with other governmental agencies to provide improvements on Highways 121, 75 and 380 that are ongoing now.
Many of the projects that are underway require relationships with TXDOT, NTTA, the County and the Federal Government. My experience in dealing with these agencies while Mayor Pro Tem, is a benefit to the office of Mayor. We need to send a positive message about McKinney's future. We need to build on our partnerships with our school districts and neighboring cities to bring quality of life and a quality tax base to our community. We are in a growth corridor and we need to complete our transportation projects and infrastructure projects as we work to bring quality commercial development to our city.
We need to send a message of optimism. We need to stop focusing on what we are not but instead focus on what we can be and can achieve.
We all moved to McKinney for a reason. I want to be a Mayor that promotes McKinney in a proactive, positive manner. Let's plan McKinney, not just for today, but for 5, 10 and 20 years from today.
I respectfully request your support as Mayor of McKinney. Early voting has begun and continues through May 5. Election Day is May 9. Together we can shape McKinney's future today.
Sincerely,Brian Loughmiller

My family and I have lived in McKinney since 1987. Before my high school graduation, I lived on 3 continents and attended 13 different schools. As the saying goes - I wasn't born in Texas, but I got here as fast as I could!Due to job changes, we have moved away from McKinney twice, however, we have returned and McKinney has become our home.
I decided to run for City Council because I am just a regular guy who is uniquely qualified for this position: I paid my own way through college at Kansas State, where I obtained degrees in Cereal Chemistry and Food Engineering. While working full time in Chicago, I earned my MBA in Marketing from DePaul University.
I am currently the Global Business Development Director for the world's largest producer of dietary fiber, In the work place, my expertise is creating, building and leading new sales and marketing organizations to maximize efficiency and increase profitability. I am results oriented with a proven track record of bringing people with different goals, perspectives and backgrounds together into workable solutions. This same expertise is what I will bring to the table if I am elected to serve as your City Council Representative.
I am not a business owner,nor and I involved in real estate or finances. I am completely free of any potential conflict of interest. As part of the city council, I would be part of a team that is responsible for making decisions that impact peoples lives and their financial situations. I would take this responsibility very seriously, getting input from and communicating with, our citizens.
I am a leader that will listen to the people and act in the best interests the citizens of McKinney and not my own or my business associates. We need leaders that are honest and do not have hidden agendas. I have no hidden agenda I believe that our most important natural resource is our citizens. hrough this election process I have met a lot of new people and are constantly amazed at the background, enthusiasm and the willingness that people have regarding our city. We don't need consultants, we have plenty of experts right here. We need to take advantage of these talents and skills
The major goals I would pursue are the following:
Improve Communication Our city government has to accessible and transparent to our constituents. I will continue to communicate through my Blog, answering email, and through personal face to face meetings. Attract More Businesses to McKinney This is important for 2 reason; to bring more jobs to our city and to reducing the tax burden on homeowners. Maintain our Quality of Life Most of us moved to McKinney because our unique aspects (schools, open green spaces with lakes and parks, safe neighborshoods). As we grow, we need to maintain these qualities. Reaching these goals requires strong leadership that focuses on the needs of the people. Thank you for your consideration for the City Council At-Large place.
Sincerely,
Curtis Rath
