Issue Position: Property Taxes

Issue Position

There is a key difference in the GOP primary on the issue of property taxes. Of the two candidates, only Kronda Thimesch has never voted for a tax rate increase. Kronda's opponent voted for a resolution urging the Texas Legislature to allow school districts to "Increase the tax rate without voter authorization." *

Kronda believe taxpayers deserve a voice, while her opponent voted to raise taxes without going to voters.

Kronda has personally knocked on over 1800 doors, hearing directly from voters who have shared that the property tax burden is their top concern. Kronda believes we should continue efforts to lower property taxes, so that our citizens, especially our senior citizens, aren't taxed out of their home. As a member of the Lewisville ISD Board of Trustees, she has voted twice to cut the property tax rate. Her opponent voted for a tax rate increase, the maximum allowed by law.**
