The Honorable Mayor Allen Owen's Proven Commitment to keeping Missouri City, Texas one of the Safest and Best Cities in America Should Not Be Ignored by Mo City voters on Today, Saturday, December 8, 2018

AUBREY R. TAYLOR REPORTS©

The runoff race for Mayor of Missouri City, Texas is a nonpartisan race, which means this election is much different from Presidential and Midterm Elections -- and rightfully so! Being the Mayor of a city as diverse as Missouri City, Texas isn't an easy job. But in the words of Political Analyst Jacquie Baly, "Mayor Allen Owen has done an excellent job representing Missouri City, Texas." 


MAYOR ALLEN OWEN IS A GOOD MAYOR

In case you don't know, the mayor is the highest ranking municipal officer for the city they're elected to represent. In most cities mayors have significant powers, in others, the mayor is simply a figurehead. But, in Missouri City, a city bustling with new growth, and vitality, the Mayor must be someone committed to representing all citizens -- regardless of their ethnicity. The person elected on today, Saturday, December 8, 2018, between Yolanda Ford and Mayor Allen Owen must also be committed to bringing the "Show Me City" together in these turbulent political times.

In case you don't know, Missouri City, Texas is a diverse city sitting inside one of the most diverse regions of America. According to recently published information prepared by Esri on the demographic breakdown of Missouri City, Texas, there’s somewhere in the neighborhood of about 32,619 African Americans currently living in Missouri City. There’s somewhere in the neighborhood of about 21,560 Whites living in Missouri City. About 15,399 Asians live in Missouri City. At this time, somewhere in the neighborhood of 13,729 Hispanics live inside the boundaries of Missouri City. But why am I talking about the racial composition of Missouri City, Texas today? Well, these numbers are important because a city that’s 27.9 percent White, 42.2 percent African American, 0.4 percent Indian American, 19.9 percent Pacific Islander, 17.8 percent Hispanic can ill afford to allow itself to be divided along racial lines by outside forces. The color of a person's skin "SHOULD NOT BE A DECIDING FACTOR" in political contests. Let me be even clearer, "THE SKIN COLOR OF THE CANDIDATES RUNNING FOR MAYOR OF MISSOURI CITY, TEXAS SHOULD NOT BE A DECIDING FACTOR" in whether you cast your vote for a particular candidate today!

MAYOR ALLEN OWEN IS THE BEST CHOICE

Mayor Allen Owen's proven commitment to keeping Missouri City, Texas great should account for something when you go to the polls today. Over $500 million in new taxable property value should mean something to you; Over 1,500 plus new jobs should mean something to you; Over 32 major companies relocating to Missouri City, Texas should mean something to you; Missouri City being voted as one of the two best Texas cities to live, work, and play should mean something to you; Creation of a 6th Fire Station should mean something to you; Having a (HCC) Houston Community College Campus in Missouri City, Texas should mean something to you; Over $2.5 million dollars approved for beautification and reader signs for the Texas Parkway Corridor should mean something to you; and having a mayor with the foresight to develop a "CITY MASTER PLAN" that includes a Veterans Memorial, a Dog Park, an Amphitheater, an Educational Boardwalk, Investments in Hunters Glen Park, and other surrounding trails has to matter to you when you go to the polls to cast your vote today! So if these things matter, you should be casting your vote for the honorable Mayor Allen Owen today in Missouri City, Texas!



Mayor Allen Owen and his wife Jane have been married for more than 50 years. And they've spent over 40 of those years serving the people of Missouri City, Texas.

MAYOR OWEN IS PROUD OF HIS SUCCESSES

The honorable Mayor Allen Owen is proud of his accomplishments. “I’m particularly proud of our continuing push by City Council to improve public safety. We recently have opened firehouses, and approved pay raises for Police and Fire Forces and all city workers. We’ve hired Missouri City Motorcycle Police Officers.” In spite of struggling economic conditions in other areas, “Missouri City home values have jumped many times and are one of the best buys in the area, because of our proximity to Houston, the Texas Medical Center, Energy Corridor and the Port of Houston.”

Owen serves on many boards, committees, and civic organizations throughout Missouri City. “Engagement is critical to me. I served the City as a Planning & Zoning Commissioner for five years, served on City Council for eight years, and have served as Mayor the past 24 years. We’re excited about HCC at Texas Parkway adjacent to City Hall with a $35 million investment to boost redevelopment there as a striking welcome to our City. Our library is growing, and we’re proud of our new civic center. Work continues for Metro getting commuter rail to our City along 90 and soon a bus network to move our citizens to and from work and school,” he said.

Allen and Jane are active at First United Methodist Church where they raised their children including a daughter who works as an FBISD teacher and are grateful Missouri City still is where their children and grandchildren visit. Owen earned degrees at Stephen F. Austin and SMU – Graduate School of Finance and Banking.
