Forney’s accomplishments the past two years prove the value of Mayor Jason Roberson’s “bring-our-community-together” approach.
“You can’t sit around City Hall and hope progress happens. It requires rolling up your sleeves and working side-by-side with families from all walks of life to achieve prosperity for every part of Forney.”
Forney will soon be home to a $117 million hospital and surgery center, job-heavy commercial developments, and one of the country’s most significant new retail projects featuring an HEB grocery store, Target, and Home Depot. Jason has been instrumental in attracting thousands of high-paying jobs for our families and spurring new sales tax revenue to take the burden of funding city services off homeowners.
Jobs, jobs & more jobs for Forney families.
Jason successfully led efforts for voter approval of a Crime Control Prevention District – an innovative program that increases funding for police efforts to fight violent crime. Without a tax increase, our police department is hiring more neighborhood patrol officers, investing in new crime prevention technology, and focusing on reducing juvenile crime.
Safer families, schools & neighborhoods.
Since he was elected to the City Council, Jason has worked on scrubbing our budget and finding new ways to improve efficiency at City Hall. By focusing our spending on better roads, clean parks, safe neighborhoods, and modern infrastructure instead of glitzy, big-ticket projects, our property tax rate has dropped by 25% under his leadership. His fiscal leadership has earned him the endorsement of business leaders across Forney.
Renewed focus on the interests of taxpayers.
“In just one term as Mayor, Jason Roberson has been proven to be one of the strongest advocates for police officers and firefighters. His efforts are helping us better protect the safety and well-being of families across our entire city. We enthusiastically endorse his reelection and look forward to his continued efforts to keep big city crime away from our special community.”

President, Forney Police Officer Association.
“Families across Forney are safer thanks to the leadership of Mayor Jason Roberson. He is working hard to provide us with the tools and technology we need to provide the highest quality emergency response services during a fire or medical emergency. We look forward to many more years of his service to Forney.”
