Currently Serving
Making city government work for residents.
Pflugerville families are paying some of the highest water bills in Central Texas. New development is outpacing infrastructure investment. City decisions are too often made without enough input from the people most affected.
Before winning his seat in November 2025, Jonathan spent three years on the Planning & Zoning Commission, two of them as Chair, and served as Chair of the Capital Improvements Advisory Board, as well as numerous other committees and strategic planning projects. You can read more about that background on the about page. He came in knowing the details. Now he has the vote.

Focus Areas
What Jonathan is working on.
Fiscal Responsibility
New development should cover the cost of roads, water, and public safety it generates. No vanity projects. Every dollar tracked against what residents actually need.
Read more →
Housing & Affordability
Teachers, first responders, seniors, and young families should be able to afford to live in the city they serve. That means more housing options across price points and life stages.
Read more →
Transparency
City government should work for residents, not around them. That means clear communication, honest tradeoffs, and accountability from this seat.

Council Updates
Recent notes from City Council.
Since taking office, I've been focused on lowering costs where we can, improving accountability, and making sure Pflugerville is planning ahead instead of reacting late. These updates explain recent council issues, policy questions, and decisions in plain language. For the full writeups, see the updates archive.
What Pflugerville Needs to Compete for Jobs and Commercial Growth
Pflugerville needs a clearer economic development strategy: updated rules, focused investment, a stronger vision east of State Highway 130, better sales-tax growth, and more support for small businesses already here.
When Outdated Construction Rules Make Neighborhood Projects Harder
Two nearby fiber projects from the same provider showed how local rules can change cost, timing, and resident experience. Pflugerville needs to keep construction standards current while still protecting neighborhoods.
What Pflugerville Still Needs on AI, Surveillance, and Resident Data
After a council discussion with staff, my position is the same: Pflugerville should adopt practical, enforceable rules for AI, surveillance technology, resident data, and outside agency access.
Pflugerville Is Going to See More Data Center Interest. We Need Rules First.
Central Texas is drawing data center development, and the impacts are specific enough that standard commercial zoning shouldn't cover them: noise, power demand, water use, scale. I pushed to get policy language in front of staff before the first major proposal shows up.
