Excerpt from Dallas Morning News’ endorsement article:
Of the three candidates, Hill, 50, stands out as the most qualified. Hill, an attorney, joined the Frisco ISD board during a time of potential turmoil in 2023. There was an effort, thankfully short lived, to use FISD as a culture war petri dish. Hill became school board president last year and gets credit for keeping the focus on student outcomes and administrative excellence.
He also gets credit for directing the city’s economic development corporation. Frisco racks up wins in attracting new businesses and corporations. Sure, the city sells itself, but Hill has been a smart steward of Frisco’s image.
We agree with Hill that a sense of factionalism has set in on the Frisco council. A fresh start with new leadership that doesn’t have the baggage of prior councils feels right.”
Sandy and I are honored to support Mark Hill for Mayor of Frisco.
We have lived in Frisco for over 28 years and been a part of this city we love for all these years. Whether me being on City Council and then Mayor for six years or both of us being on numerous boards and committees, we value how important leadership is in the success of our city.
We believe Mark Hill is the right leader to take Frisco to the next level as the best city to live, work and raise a family. His extensive business experience, service on the FISD School Board and Frisco EDC, and his steadfast commitment to family and community embody our own personal values and the foundational pillars that have built Frisco’s success.
Mark’s vision to “Unite Frisco” is exactly what our city needs. His collaborative approach through listening, building partnerships, and finding common-sense solutions will ensure Frisco continues to thrive for generations to come.
Mike and Sandy Simpson,
Former Frisco Mayor
Mark Hill is a good friend and strong Frisco community supporter. He has a great family, has been a leader while serving FISD, and works hard to welcome everyone. I have known Mark for several years and he is an asset for the city. I proudly endorse Mark Hill as our next Mayor of Frisco.

After months of meaningful conversations, thoughtful consideration, and prayer, Melinda and I have decided to support and vote for Mark Hill for Mayor of Frisco. This was not an easy decision, as we count other candidates in this race as friends and respected leaders.
We based our decision on two factors. First, our understanding of Frisco’s history and the role of Mayor. Second (and most importantly) the skills, experience, and expertise required to lead at this moment in our city’s growth.
Over the last 24 years, Frisco has experienced remarkable growth under just three Mayors. Each brought a different style and helped build upon the success of those before them. Because the Mayor’s formal vote is limited to breaking ties, the real job is leadership: uniting independently elected council members and guiding them toward the good of the whole community. As grateful as we are for the service of past Mayors, Frisco is ready for a fresh perspective.
This is the right moment to pivot from leadership shaped primarily by long tenure on City Council to leadership grounded in broader executive experience and independent perspective. Mark Hill is the only candidate who pairs executive-level leadership with elected experience and a fresh perspective. Unbound by decades in the same system, he is uniquely positioned to help lead Frisco into its next phase of growth.
I’ve worked firsthand with Mark and have seen his leadership up close. He is the same person behind closed doors as he is on stage. He welcomes healthy debate, ensures all voices are heard, and asks thoughtful, insightful questions; one of the clearest signs of strong critical thinking. Mark has served Frisco for decades, including as an EDC Director, FISD Trustee, and FISD Board President.
For perspective, the FISD Board oversees a $1.2 billion budget, roughly four times the size of the City of Frisco’s budget, and far larger in both scope and personnel. Mark has excelled at leading with that level of responsibility, including helping balance the district’s budget for the first time in recent memory.
Finally, what truly draws us to Mark’s candidacy is his campaign’s central theme: Uniting Frisco. While disagreement is inevitable in a city of our size, we can (and should) expect respectful debate, civility, and leadership that brings people together rather than pushing them into factions. Frisco can do better, and Mark Hill offers a clear path forward.
We hope you’ll join Melinda and me in supporting Mark Hill, the next Mayor of Frisco.

I’m proud to support Mark Hill for Mayor.
Mark is a humble leader who genuinely cares about our community. Through his work with the EDC, FISD, and local boards, he has demonstrated the same steady, selfless leadership that shaped our city under visionaries like my late husband, Sam Roach. His thoughtful approach and deep understanding of both the business and education sides of our community reflect the kind of civic service that has guided Frisco’s success for decades.
As an attorney, Mark has honed the ability to listen carefully, analyze complex issues, communicate clearly, and craft fair, balanced solutions, all essential skills for leading a growing city like Frisco.

I am proud to call Frisco home for the past 15 years. Over this time, I’ve had the privilege of witnessing—and actively contributing to—the city’s remarkable growth. As a member of a local non-profit organization, a real estate professional, an IT specialist, and a father raising my family here, I’ve seen firsthand what makes Frisco special: its people, its vision, and its commitment to excellence.
I’ve also had the honor of serving on the City of Frisco’s Board of Adjustments, where I gained a deeper understanding of the policies and decisions that shape our community. I believe strongly in upholding Frisco’s brand image and in identifying opportunities that stimulate economic growth, enhance infrastructure, and improve the quality of life for all residents.
It is with this perspective that I wholeheartedly endorse Mark Hill for Mayor of Frisco. Mark is a leader of integrity, insight, and action. His passion for our city is evident in everything he does—from his service on the Frisco ISD Board to his deep engagement with local issues. He brings a rare combination of maturity, strategic thinking, and community-first values that make him uniquely qualified to lead Frisco into its next chapter. Mark understands what it takes to preserve and elevate Frisco’s identity. His vision aligns with the needs of our growing population, and his commitment to inclusive development and civic collaboration is exactly what our city needs.
I am actively supporting Mark Hill for Mayor of Frisco and encourage fellow residents to join me in backing a candidate who truly represents the heart and future of Frisco.
