Calvin Tillman for
Aubrey City Council Place 4
I am running for Aubrey City Council Place 4. My family and I moved to Aubrey four years
ago from the small community of DISH, Texas located in western Denton
County. We have lived in Texas since
2003. While living in DISH, I served two years on the town board of
commissioners and four years as mayor.
I am a veteran of the United States Air Force. My professional career is in aviation. I am a
licensed aircraft mechanic and pilot, and have an aviation degree from the
Community College of the Air Force, and a business degree from Concordia
University of Texas.
I have been married to my wife
Tiffiney for 16 years, and we have 3 beautiful children: Clay, Josh and Evie. My family attends First Rock Fellowship
Church here in Aubrey.

Accomplishments in
Municipal Government.
§ While serving as mayor in DISH, we were
able to significantly cut the town’s debt, while cutting taxes and providing
greater and better services. For far too
long, it appears that Aubrey has been a cash register for special interest, we
have over five million dollars in debt with very little to show for it.
§ If
elected I will commit to returning the power to the people, lowering taxes,
cutting municipal debt and working on behalf of every citizen, not just the
few.
§ Consistently
have fought for private property rights for all Texans.
§ Worked
with county officials to repair and replace area roads, at lower costs to the
taxpayers.
§ Built
a municipal park from private and public grants at no cost to the taxpayers.
§ Built
a small library from private grants and very little public money.
§ Worked
with state officials on legislation that protects local control.
Why This Vote is
Important?
Most people do not realize how much influence local
governments have in our lives. They set
our tax rates, develop the ordinances that take away freedoms and liberties,
and in many cases work for the interest of a few and not the community as a
whole. For this reason, I need you to
vote Calvin Tillman for Aubrey City Council Place 4.
Aubrey is over
five million dollars in debt, with very little to show for it. I believe that debt is excessive for a town of
this size. A small town like Aubrey does
not get into that kind of debt on accident and this debt most certainly
benefited some more than others. It is
my belief that there is more debt planned for the city. This course must be stopped and I will work
to do that.
Growth is
coming to Aubrey whether we want it or not, the next ten years will be critical
to Aubrey’s future.
