TOLLESON IS FAMILY —

AND THAT MATTERS

In Tolleson, we are one extended family—and leadership means bringing us back to the table together.

Generations live side by side here. Neighbors know one another. People show up when times are hard and celebrate together when times are good. That sense of family isn’t just a feeling—it’s how Tolleson has always worked, and it’s one of our greatest strengths.

I first ran for office as a third-generation Tolleson resident during a moment of national upheaval—amid Trump-era politics and the uncertainty of COVID—because I believed local voices mattered more than ever. I felt a responsibility to step up and help ensure our community had leadership rooted in compassion, stability, and love for our fellow human beings.

Five years later, we find ourselves in another moment where those same values are urgently needed.

Our country feels more divided. Conversations are harder. People are quicker to judge and slower to listen. But Tolleson has always been different. We are a city that knows how to come back to the table—listening with open hearts, learning from one another, and leading with empathy, even when we don’t always agree.

That belief has guided my work on City Council. I’ve kept a full, demanding schedule because this role matters. I’ve shown up—to meetings, boards, community events, and difficult conversations—because leadership isn’t about titles. It’s about responsibility. It’s about doing the work, even when it’s hard and even when no one is watching.

Growing up in Tolleson taught me that leadership means responsibility to one another. Tolleson deserves leadership that listens first, works hard, and leads with heart. These are the values that brought me to City Hall—and the values that continue to guide me as I run for re-election.

“In Tolleson, we are one extended family—and leadership means bringing us back to the table together.”

Jimmy is running for re-election to continue this work—bringing people together, listening first, and leading with heart.
