| Info | Six years ago I accepted my own personal challenge and became a member of the City of Seabrook City Council. As a member I have worked hard for the past six years and am very proud of what I've be able to accomplish in my two terms.
In 2006 I was elected to Position #1 at large as a conservative Republican. My platform was to end all lawsuits between the City and The Port Authority of Houston and promote business development, work with Harris County and TX DOT on road improvements and highway expansion, re-zone land areas for commercial and industrial use, revise permitting procedures and become developer friendly. Promote the city in a positive way and bring signature events to improve tourism and hotel occupancy. I was a Pro Economic Development candidate that wanted to improve the overall image of The City of Seabrook.
Along with business and economical development I led the way in preserving our environment. As a coastal city we have beautiful wetlands and a large bird population including pelicans which we have adopted as the unofficial bird of the city. As a result of our agreement with the Port Authority land was set aside for nature trails and natural habitat areas complete with a trail system to connect our parks. Improvements were made i.e. new equipment, bathrooms, docks etc. As a councilman I also passed mitigation, retention and detention pond laws to preserve our habitat sanctuaries and convert existing areas into public properties. New illumination and noise ordinances were passed and the quality of life has improved since my first term.
In 2009 I ran unopposed and was re-elected to my second and final term. I served as Mayor Pro Tem during that time and have worked tirelessly since Hurricane IKE in 2010. Seabrook was the hardest hit and we have had quite a mess to clean up for several years. Now the job is finally finished and I am pleased with the results. We have re-built our residential tax base and have added approximately 200 million in new taxable properties. EDC incentives were made for existing businesses and new development. Our sales tax revenues have increased and our reserves are large. Also during my tenure we have been able to keep our cities' reserves at the required levels set by our charter and have not raised taxes in my entire time on council.
As my term expires I look forward to using the knowledge and experience I have gathered during my time on city council and putting it to use in Washington. I believe I've got what it takes to get the job done. I am not a career politician like my opponent who has 22 years experience in the bureaucratic system and if elected will go to Washington and continue the status quo and elitist attitude that is currently ruining our country. "Accept the Challenge" and vote Kim Morrell for Congress!
