McLennan Co. Precinct 4 Commissioner Not Seeking Re-Election
WACO, Texas (FOX 44) – McLennan County Precinct Four Commissioner Ben Perry has announced that he will not be seeking re-election when his term ends on December 31, 2026.
Perry has served in this role since January 1, 2011, and has decided that it's time for him to allow another individual to guide the precinct as it continues to grow. During his tenure, the court focused on Economic Development which has provided thousands of jobs to the economy, added properties to the tax base which offset the tax burden for the constituents, and invested in the people of McLennan County by supporting innovative ways to create a skilled workforce through GWAMA, GWAHCA, StartUp Waco and the WorkSite.
Commissioner Perry wanted to address the impact growth has had in Precinct Four, and addressed road issues by supporting over $25 million in road expansion projects on Speegleville Road, Ritchie Road and Chapel Road, which have continued to benefit residents with safer travels to and from home.
Perry has been invested in following through with McLennan County's policies regarding operating on a balanced budget, keeping a reserve of 33 percent.
