Mark Hill for Mayor
Frisco, Texas — Mayoral Campaign 2025/26
A Frisco Family,
A Frisco Future
Twenty years ago, my wife Tiffany and I bought our first home in Frisco. We have raised our daughter here, built our business here, and invested ourselves in this community because Frisco is not just where we live. It is who we are.
I am the only Mayoral candidate currently raising a child in Frisco schools, running an active business in this city, and bringing proven experience across all three pillars that built Frisco: Education, Economic Development, and Executive Leadership.
As Board President of Frisco ISD, I balanced a budget nearly three times the size of the City’s and strengthened campus safety. As a Director on the Frisco EDC Board, I have a front-row seat to how we attract world-class employers and protect our low tax rate. As a practicing business attorney and founding partner of Henry Hill PLLC, I cut through complexity and find practical, workable solutions every single day.
I am free from political baggage, with no construction contracts, no real estate license, and no government affairs career built on prior elected office. My only agenda is serving the residents of Frisco, because your priorities are my priorities.
“Frisco is entering its most consequential chapter yet. This moment demands a Mayor who is positive and ready, not one who is still getting up to speed. I am ready from Day One.”
— Mark Hill, Candidate for Mayor
Why Mark Hill
What Sets Me Apart
Frisco deserves a leader with a proven foundation of trust and integrity, not a Mayor who requires on-the-job training. With deep roots in our community and a steadfast independence, I offer the experienced leadership necessary to serve with honor, from day one.
01
No Conflicts of Interest
I have no construction contracts with the City of Frisco, no real estate license, and no government affairs career built on the back of elected office. My loyalty is to this community, and I lead with truth, transparency, and integrity.
02
Proven Across All Three Pillars
Education. Economic Development. Executive Leadership. I am the only candidate with hands-on experience in all three areas that built Frisco’s extraordinary foundation.
03
Living It Alongside You
As the only candidate with a child in Frisco schools today and an active business in this city, I experience Frisco’s growth in real time — not from a distance or from the past.
04
Budget Experience at Scale
As Board President of Frisco ISD, I led the balancing of a budget nearly three times the size of the City’s — managing competing priorities, building consensus, and delivering results.
05
A Unifier, Not a Divider
My legal career has earned the trust and support of people with vastly different perspectives. When people who rarely agree rally behind the same leader, that says everything about character.
06
A Proud Ambassador for Frisco
Culture starts at the top. I will advocate for our city in every room, whether locally, nationally, globally, and speak about Frisco with unwavering pride and conviction. Great positive vision is contagious.
Top Priorities
What I Will Fight For Every Day
Frisco’s greatest challenge is not growth itself; it is failing to manage that growth with discipline, foresight, and financial integrity. These priorities reflect what that requires.
01
Public Safety First
Every family that chooses Frisco deserves to feel safe in their neighborhood, schools, and community. I will ensure our public safety infrastructure, personnel, and resources scale proactively with our growing population, never reactively. Frisco’s reputation as one of America’s safest cities did not happen by accident, and it will not maintain itself without deliberate investment.
02
Protect Our Low Tax Rate Through Smart Growth
Government should not grow faster than the people it serves can afford. I will continue attracting quality commercial development that offsets the residential tax burden, scrutinize every expenditure with business-owner discipline, and empower the EDC and CDC to keep delivering the economic results that have kept Frisco’s tax rate among the lowest in the region.
03
Unite Frisco
Frisco cannot reach its full potential when its leadership is fractured or focused on personal agendas. I believe deeply in professionalism, decorum, and solutions-oriented governance. When leadership models respect and collaboration with staff, Council members, and residents, that culture spreads throughout the entire city. I will be that Mayor.
04
Manage Buildout with Discipline
With only 13% of land remaining and most already zoned, Frisco’s focus must shift from new development to smart reinvestment. I will honor our Comprehensive Plans established by residents, protect established neighborhoods, and ensure every land use decision is evaluated through one lens: Does it make Frisco better for the people already here?
05
Stay Ahead of Infrastructure Demands
Frisco has always built ahead of its growth, and I will continue that discipline. I will help complete projects on time and on budget, advance northern corridor road investments, and ensure utility and underground systems are replaced strategically before they become problematic.
06
Communicate and Engage Constantly
Transparency is not just open records and public meetings. It is a Mayor who is visible, accessible, and genuinely listening. I will expand Coffee with the Mayor across different times and locations, host Community Input Nights at neighborhoods across Frisco, and ensure every resident has a direct, realistic path to their Mayor.
Policy Positions
Where I Stand on the Issues
Frisco is entering its most consequential chapter. Here is exactly how I will approach the critical decisions ahead.
The Role of City Council
The role of the City Council is to govern with professionalism, focus on long-term sustainability for this city, and to create policies that improve the quality of life for Frisco residents.
When Frisco’s City Council focuses on local governance, and does so with professionalism and decorum, Frisco runs the way it should.
- Lead with vision, not micromanagement
- Respect the council-manager form of government
- No personal agendas at the council table
- Strong governance sets up the city for long-term success
Fiscal Responsibility
Frisco’s strength rests on one principle: Grow the commercial tax base so residents carry less of the burden. I will protect that formula with discipline.
- Maintain and strengthen performance-based incentives only
- Oppose state preemptions that limit local financial flexibility
- Protect 20% Homestead Exemption, Senior Tax Freeze
- Every bond dollar must be justified with clear ROI
Development & Land Use
With 13% of land remaining, the era of new development is giving way to the era of smart reinvestment. Every decision must honor what residents have said through our Comprehensive Plans.
- Reinvest in Rail District corridors
- Preserve remaining green space before it is gone
- Oppose and Repeal SB 840; Support local control of zoning
- Support market-driven, mixed-use housing solutions
Transportation & Mobility
Traffic is a regional challenge demanding regional solutions. We cannot build our way out of congestion, but we can outthink it with smart, macro, and technology-driven mobility solutions.
- Expand Denton County Transit Authority (DCTA) partnership and rideshare integration
- Represent Frisco’s interests in Regional Transportation Council Transit 2.0
- Invest in smart signals, connected vehicle data, roundabouts
- Focus on connectivity, trails, and universal accessibility
Education & Community
Strong education builds strong families, and strong families build a strong community. The relationship between the City and FISD must be collaborative, coordinated, and mutually supportive.
- Maintain close coordination between City and FISD on safety
- Support workforce talent attraction through EDC and schools
- Protect Frisco’s quality-of-life amenities that attract families
- Invest in the parks, trails, and gathering places that define us
State & Local Relations
Local issues are best addressed by local authority. I will advocate forcefully at the state level for amendments that restore and protect Frisco’s ability to govern its own priorities.
- Oppose SB 840’s blanket density mandates for local cities
- Fight state preemptions that restrict revenue flexibility
- Strengthen regional partnerships with Collin and Denton Counties
Economic Development
The EDC is busier than it has ever been, and I will keep it that way. Frisco’s commercial tax base is the most powerful tax relief tool we have for residents.
- Keep all incentives performance-based and phased, with no dollar until delivery
- Attract employers whose employees want to live in Frisco
- Reduce commuter leakage by bringing jobs closer to home
- Leverage World Cup, Universal, and PGA for long-term visibility
Housing & Affordability
Housing is and should remain market-driven. Government is not the developer. What Council can do is remove barriers, create smart incentives, and ensure zoning supports the right density in the right places.
- Address senior housing and missing middle housing gaps
- Protecting the dream of homeownership requires defending private property rights and maintaining low property taxes
- Deliver actual affordability by slashing red tape and streamlining permits to lower building costs and let the market drive down prices for families
