- Hughes: “Planning for the required improvement or replacement of critical infrastructure (roads, water/sewer and municipal facilities); supporting the city’s exceptional police, fire and [emergency medical services]; providing residents with the most desired community amenities; and pursuing a measured approach to spending and borrowing, to avoid burdening taxpayers.”
- Mitcham: “My top priority is preserving Jersey Village's small-town charm while supporting responsible growth.

Ensuring Jersey Village remains a welcoming, vibrant place to live is essential to maintaining our high quality of life.”
