Every year our city comes together in the spirit of unity to celebrate and honor those who have sacrificed, served, and honored their country.  Memorial Day is not about being red or blue; it’s about the sacrifices made for the red, white, and blue.  🇺🇸

Progress in Mobility!
FRISCO LAUNCHES RIDESHARE SERVICE ‘GOZONE’
 
(May 4, 2026) Beginning May 5,Frisco’s new on-demand, rideshare service provides residents and visitors a convenient way to get around the central part of our city. GoZone connects riders to weekday destinations like work or school. GoZone is also available for running errands.

The new rideshare service is a partnership between the City of Frisco and the Denton County Transportation Authority (DCTA).
 
“When people think about public transit, often times they think about a bus or train,” said Paul Cristina, CEO, DCTA.  “But what makes microtransit so successful is the fact it gets people from where they are to where they want to go.”
 
As many as twenty rideshare GoZone vans will move riders through the ‘Zone’, which covers about a third of Frisco.

I’ve known John Keating for many years. He’s a friend and former city council colleague.  

Here’s what I’ve seen in my interactions with John Keating over the years...and this is not campaign rhetoric nor spin...this is REAL:

1) He knows this city very well.  He knows the city staff, the charter, the policies, the systems, zoning case history, budget details, and the “why” behind many critical decisions in this city.  He was the historian of our city council for years.  No one has served as a city council member longer than John.  Frisco is a fast growing and complex city; it’s not the place for an inexperienced leader to learn on the job.  Experience matters...I dare say relevant experience matters!

2) John loves Frisco!  John has tirelessly served the residents of this city for over a decade. There’s probably not an annual event or celebration that he hasn’t attended multiple times over the years...and not just during campaign season. He has worked to ensure veterans in this city were honored and celebrated. No one can question Keating’s commitment to this city.

3) John is inclusive.  It doesn’t matter your race nor ethnicity; you feel seen and heard by John Keating.  As the only African American and person of color on our city council for years; John has always been by my side showing an openness to lean in and learn from a different perspective. He’s not afraid to be uncomfortable; and he’s not uncomfortable with diversity.

I’ve been asked many times over the last few weeks who I support for mayor and who I’d like to serve with, my answer is resounding: “John Keating is my #1 choice for Frisco’s Mayor!”
