9660 Audelia Road, Suite 123 214-221-0011 myofficelh.com on Church Road. The Richardson ISD board voted instead to build an elementary school at Walnut Hill and White Rock Trail on land zoned for commercial use that McGough says needs a deed restriction removed before the district can proceed with construction. The district disagrees.

“I thought that on a project like this, we would work together,” McGough says. He says he will do his best to “determine what my community and the people I represent are wanting,” and “if RISD has not convinced the people who are reaching out to me that that’s not the best location and right location and in the best interest of the kids, then I think they have more work to do.”

The conflicts aren’t deflating him. Quite the opposite. This is where his background in mediation and dispute resolution come to the forefront.

“I love getting into some of these contentious things,” he says. “I believe you can come up with something better than what others have thought of if you have parties willing to engage in the process.”

He calls it “confident humility I absolutely believe we can work this out but I have no idea how we’re going to get there yet.”

Whether he can unite the broader Lake Highlands area “us” and “them” remains to be seen, but McGough says he is up to the challenge.

“The ugliness of the campaign helped me in ways I never expected,” McGough says. “I am what I am, I’m going to do what I’m going to do, I’m going to work as hard as I can, and maybe people will come around, maybe they won’t.”
