Why Vote Tracy?
How is She Different?
Tracy is NOT a politician nor does she have ties to any current elected officials or other candidates so she is completely independent in her views and would not have pressure to be a “YES” woman. She does not have financial constituents to influence her voting. She has a genuine concern for the city she has lived in for over 14 years. She has not hired a marketing company, political advisor, and to date is her own campaign manager. All content and ideas presented are her own.
Over the years, Tracy has taken numerous assessments to identify her strengths which have frequently shown an emphasis on analytics, empathy, and desire to help others. Her DISC assessment results are consistent with the visionary type of leader. She enjoys asking questions to learn and having discussions to identify the best possible solutions.
Her professional experience as an employee and small business owner make Tracy one of the most well rounded candidates for City Council. From blue collar work to white collar work, Tracy has experienced life at various levels on the socio-economic scale. She can relate to anyone whether it be the single mom struggling to make ends meet to the multi-million dollar commercial developer. She is empathic and always looking to help others every opportunity she is able. Friends and business partners describe Tracy as “REAL”. She values honesty and integrity above all.
As a professional, credentialed Associate Actuary, her daily work involves data analysis, financial projections, and modeling employee benefit medical designs for self-funded clients. Tracy has extensive client facing projects that deal with complex situations that require a balance of meeting the needs of various competing interests in organizations. One of her large clients is a local municipality water district. She is also a licensed Texas General Lines Agent.
Her experience is unlike any of the other candidates. Not only is she responsible for financial projections to help clients with their annual budgets in her daily profession, but she is also a licensed Realtor. Tracy worked for a local property tax dispute company to assist homeowners in their Tarrant County Appraisal Property Tax Disputes. She is very familiar with the process and understands how the current dispute process is stacked against the average homeowner.
From 2005-2007, Tracy worked in the banking industry as a Licensed Personal Financial Representative holding her Series 7 and Series 63 securities licenses for part of that time. She also works in Construction Project Management for Single Family Remodels for investors and homeowners. She has renovated over 50 houses from 2016 - 2024 and has built two new construction homes.
From 2013-2016, Tracy served as the HOA president at Liberty Village in NRH. Tracy was responsible for the start of the HOA, setting up the first election for HOA officers, scheduling meetings and opening the initial bank account.
