A PASSION FOR LOCAL POLITICS

KKevin’s passion for being involved in the local politics started in 1992 Kevin was appointed to the City of Pearland Planning & Zoning Commission in 1994

Kevin then ran for City Council in 1995 and was successful He served a single term to 1998 Kevin will tell you his biggest accomplishment while on Council was being a part of a Council that secured long-term water rights for the City

Kevin made the decision to run for City Council again in 2004 and was elected He served 2 terms ending in May 2010 Kevin had several major accomplishments during this time

Cowart s Creek diversion project was an item he ran on and was able to make it a part of the 2007 bond program Today, it is complete and will help a large area of the City’s drainage

The Lower Kirby area has developed because the Council made the decision to focus on a market-based approach to the area Kevin was able to utilize the skills as a real estate developer and help lead the Council to perform a market analysis followed by a market-based land plan This led to rezoning the area based on the market and the Lower Kirby area finally took off The City had become the de facto developer in that area by putting in the infrastructure but the zoning really was difficult to deal with So the City needed to act like a developer in performing this

The City was successful in the 2007 bond program election This was the largest program in the City s history and covered roads, drainage, fire stations, parks, and the natatorium/rec center When the real estate economy collapsed in Sept 2008, parts of the bond program were able to be implemented quicker Several roads were moved up to take advantage of better pricing

He was elected Mayor of Pearland on November 3 2020
