- Elizabeth believes for Fort Worth to prosper we must celebrate our diversity and create an environment where every resident and every neighborhood has hope and opportunity.
Investing in City Infrastructure & Services

Maintaining Affordability & Quality of Life

Public Safety & Policing
Elizabeth is dedicated to being smart on crime, investing in our neighborhoods, and finding permanent housing for the homeless all while not raising property taxes. That’s why she will continue to support our first responders, and work to provide a safer and more prosperous city.
