Claudia Zapata is running for Kyle City Council in District 4! She is an experienced policy writer, budget analyst, and lover of people seeking to empower Kyle residents! Claudia has worked and volunteered in the public sector for 10+ years as a legislative aide, budget and workforce analyst, community advocate, policy writer, and nonprofit project manager. She has the skills, expertise, and heart needed to represent you.
Claudia’s main priorities include:
✅ Improving Pedestrian Safety & Reducing Traffic
✅ Making Developers Pay Their Fair Share & Reduce Property Taxes
✅ Investing in Community Enjoyment
✅ Creating a Sustainable and Protected Future
Claudia’s family moved to Kyle in the late ‘90s, and she has seen it grow significantly over the last three decades. There are certainly benefits to growth like more opportunities for fun, restaurants, and a larger economy. However, growth—if left unchecked—can also be harmful to residents by increasing property taxes, exacerbating low water levels, and growing without infrastructure needed to support our larger community.
The good news? We can build a Kyle that is vibrant and supportive, where everyone's well-being and quality of life are enhanced. Her experience as a community advocate and policy writer gives her significant insight into what works for a growing city and its residents and what doesn’t.
“City Council has the job of balancing a city’s present and future. I have invested my future into Kyle: this is where I’ll be starting a family. And this is my present. I’m an experienced policy writer, even more experienced community advocate, and I have the vision to ensure that Kyle and it’s residents are empowered, celebrated, and respected.” - Claudia ❤️
☀️ Plan today for a better tomorrow!
