My name is Jennifer Escobar and I want to be your next Hays County Tax Assessor.
I have over 25 years of experience with tax, managing people, and running offices, which makes me the most qualified and well-rounded candidate.
What should you expect from the next Hays County Tax Assessor Collector?
Efficiency
As a property and vehicle owner myself, I deeply understand the frustrations that arise when efficiency and professionalism falter in crucial administrative roles. Our community deserves a Tax Assessor Collector who not only understands these concerns but also actively works to address them.
Leadership
As a seasoned business owner, I am passionate about effective leadership. I believe a strong leader prioritizes the needs and concerns of the people they serve. When I take office, I will be proactive and prepared for all scenarios thrown at the tax assessor's office.
Transparency
I believe in a commitment to transparency and a government that operates with openness and clarity. Transparency is not just a buzzword for me; it’s a guiding principle that shapes every decision and action I make. I will welcome your thoughts and concerns, and together we can build a more responsive and accountable tax assessor's office.
Change is not only necessary but achievable. I am here to advocate for these changes, utilizing my experience and determination to push for a more responsive and efficient Tax Assessor Collector's office. Together, we can bring about the improvements our community deserves.
The public must be confident in the work of the Tax Assessor, and my office will be clear and direct from day one.
