CV: I’ve served our city the last 9 years as mayor, councilmember, and city board member. With the uncertainty/challenge of COVID-19—and our ongoing huge, complex projects—this is not the time to quit or put a complete newbie with no experience in as mayor. That would be a disaster. A leader with experience is crucial for our city right now.

CV: First, by listening—to our residents, our businesses, our city staff, and our regional, state, and federal stakeholders—as we work through emerging from the virus. Second, by leveraging the relationships I’ve formed in my 12 years of state and local elected office to our community’s benefit. We’re already doing things to help us recover.

JR: I believe Cedar Park is a wonderful city, built on common-sense conservative values. I will fight to keep Austin's influence out of the city. I want to unite our city, removing the divisive politics we see today. We must focus once again on the needs of our citizens and bring strong, capable leadership back to the council.

JR: Our business community is clearly suffering. Many of our cherished local businesses have been forced to close. We need to reduce regulations and provide temporary tax breaks while our great businesses fight their way back from this pandemic.
