Issues
Homelessness & Public Safety
The people of Fort Worth deserve neighborhoods that are safe, clean, and peaceful, and that starts with taking the problem of homeless encampments seriously. John McQueeney will push for a zero-tolerance approach to encampments in public spaces, because keeping parks, sidewalks, and neighborhoods accessible and safe isn’t optional. McQueeney also helped pass legislation to crack down on fentanyl and human trafficking, cutting off the cartels that fuel both crises.
Housing Costs & Affordability
John has watched the cost of buying or renting a home in Fort Worth climb for years. Families who’ve built their lives here are getting priced out.
In the last session, he worked to cut taxes and reduce the regulatory burden that drives up the cost of housing. Bringing housing costs down means getting serious on two fronts: real tax relief that actually shows up on your bill, and smarter rules that let more housing get built without overloading infrastructure.
John is focused on policies that increase housing supply in communities like Benbrook and Crowley without sacrificing the character of existing neighborhoods. You shouldn’t have to move to the next county to afford a home in the community you’ve chosen.
Protecting Water, Power & Local Communities
Texas is in the middle of a once-in-a-generation infrastructure build — data centers, AI campuses, and the power needed to run them. That’s a real opportunity for jobs and tax revenue across Tarrant County, if done right. On the Committee on State Affairs, John has been doing the work to make sure Fort Worth and neighboring communities keep access to clean water, a reliable grid, and a genuine voice in what gets built near their neighborhoods.
John McQueeney is crafting the policy for Texas's data center boom to ensure local communities are put first. John's plan ensures local communities retain access to water, relief from the noise and disruption, and a power grid that stays reliable.
Funding Schools & Empowering Parents
John McQueeney coauthored the school finance bill that delivers more than $8 billion in new funding for Texas public schools. He also fought for pay raises for teachers, counselors, nurses, and school librarians, because you can’t have great schools without great people in them.
John believes every child in our community deserves access to a high-quality education. That means continued public school investment, keeping teacher pay competitive, and giving parents more say in where their kids learn.
Property Tax Relief
Property taxes are the number one issue John hears about from neighbors in Benbrook, Crowley, and across the district. In the last session, he worked to cut taxes and put money back in the pockets of Texas families and businesses.
There’s more to do. John has, and will continue, to push for real relief that shows up on your bill, fight the exemptions and loopholes that shift the burden onto regular homeowners, and make sure any plan that passes is one that actually works for our families.
Cut Red Tape & Help Businesses Grow
John has run restaurants, a logistics operation, and franchise businesses in North Texas. When he talks about red tape, he’s not reading from a policy brief. He’s talking about permits he’s pulled, inspections he’s passed, and regulations he’s navigated.
During the session, John worked to cut taxes and reduce the regulatory burden that makes it harder to start or grow a small business in Texas.
Border / Public Safety
John ran a business in the Rio Grande Valley and saw the border crisis up close — not on cable news, but in the communities dealing with it every day. John passed legislation to stop fentanyl at the source, crack down on drug traffickers, and go after the human smugglers threatening Texas families.
Keeping our local neighborhoods safe starts with cutting off the cartels that fuel both problems.
