Frisco Politics

So, what is the plan?

by

As we move into the second half of the year, we continue to develop a more comprehensive plan for the Frisco PAC. The following areas of focus are a work in progress, and these will evolve (or not) as feedback and data are received. Some of these items will develop into projects under the PAC, while others may remain just an idea.

As always, feedback is encouraged and welcomed.

Project Under Vote

The purpose of this project is simple, work to increase the number of under votes (i.e. no votes) in the Frisco Mayor’s race in 2020.

In development; Project goal: November 2020

City Charter Improvements

Ahead of the next City Charter Review, work to develop strong proposals that will increase citizen representation, improve ethical standards, etc.

Watchdog Project

Develop a monitoring system for all elected officials in the City of Frisco and Frisco ISD to review financial statements, voting records and corporate connections and make this data accessible to citizens.

Frisco PAC launches Project Under Vote

by

The Frisco Political Action Committee has launched a new initiative to engage citizens leading up to the City of Frisco election in 2020. Project Under Vote aims to educate voters to abstain from voting in the Frisco Mayor’s race, thereby increasing the number of non-votes (under votes) and reducing the requirements for citizen-initiated action under the City of Frisco Charter.
