Safe neighborhoods
While other suburban cities are dealing with
robberies and violent crime, Mayor Tate's
no-nonsense approach to public safety and
support for our police officers has largely
kept big city crime problems away from
our families. And, while his opponent was
demanding the city allow short-term rentals
and loud, late -night party houses in our
neighborhoods, Mayor Tate listened to our
families and voted against allowing outsiders
from destroying our peace and quiet.
A strong economy
When the COVID pandemic threatened to
derail our prosperity, Mayor Tate rolled up
his sleeves and worked closely with the
Grapevine Convention & Visitors Bureau,
Chamber of Commerce and business leaders
to keep our economy humming. Under his
leadership, the "Grapevine Open" marketing
campaign was launched to encourage citizens
and visitors to shop and dine in our city — and
protect our mom-and-pop businesses and the
thousands of jobs they support.
Efficient City Hall
Mayor Tate's has used his business experience
to find efficiencies at City Hall, cutting
unnecessary spending and making sure our
limited tax revenue was spent on important
city services like roads, parks, police services
and fire protection. His commitment to
taxpayers has helped keep Grapevine's
property tax rate the second lowest in Texas
among comparable cities so homeowners can
keep more of their hard-earned money.
