Mark Harper - Former Fate City Council Place 2

05/05/2026

As my time in office comes to a close, I want to take a moment to express my deepest gratitude to the citizens of Fate.

Thank you for your unwavering support over the past three years. Thank you for your honest feedback — it made me a better representative. Thank you for making Fate such a wonderful place to call home, and for the new friendships I'll carry with me long after this term. And to the city staff who work tirelessly behind the scenes, day in and day out, to keep this city running — thank you. You are the backbone of everything we accomplish together.

My goal was always to do what was right for our city. Every vote I cast was made with the best interests of our citizens in mind — not just for today, but for the future of Fate. I know not every decision pleases everyone, and that's the reality of public service. But I can say with confidence that each vote was made with care, integrity, and a genuine love for this community.

Though my term has ended, my commitment to Fate has not. I will continue to stay involved, stay engaged, and stay proud to be a part of this community.

Thank you!
Mark Harper
Fate City Council Place 2

Congratulations to Ashley Rains and Allen Robbins for their victory tonight in the city election. I also want to thank the citizens of fate for a record turnout at the polls. We are still a long way from where we should be with the number of people who vote but progress nonetheless the less. Thank you!

This is not DART. This service has been around already for years and is how many elderly and disabled people get to and from Dr appointments. It's also how some special needs people get to and from their Day Hab programs. This is not a "Public" transit service like DART.

After much thought, I’ve decided that I will not be seeking reelection for Place 2 on the Fate City Council. I will continue serving on the council through May and remain committed to doing what’s right for our city every day until then.

Even after my term ends, I plan to stay involved—just as I was before taking office—because I truly love this community and want to see it thrive and be the very best it can be. Thank you for the trust and support you’ve given me.

WM Chinn I want to personally thank you for your service to our country. I also want to thank you for your personal sacrifices that you made for this country. You sir are someone who, at one point in their life, wrote a blank check made payable to "The United States of America," for an amount "up to, and including their life". You did this for our constitution. The same constitution that allows us freedom of speech. It’s unfortunate that sometimes people use that which you gave so much for to disrespect those who actually protected it. I know at times our family didn’t see eye to eye, however you have and always will have my respect. Thank you again sir for your service.
