We need to prevent the city from taking further action on the airport without voter involvement.

If you are concerned by McKinney city council leaders pursuing expansion and passenger service at our city taxpayer owned airport along with their lack of transparency or accountability to voter wishes, then you need to attend our McKinney Speaks Digital Townhall meeting on June 5 @ 6:30 PM.

This meeting is for those who oppose expansion of McKinney National Airport (TKI) by the City of McKinney to discuss go-forward strategy to prevent city council from taking action without a vote of the residents of McKinney.

We are rebranding the page from “McKinney watchdog” to “McKinney speaks”. When working on creating a PAC, I found out there was previously another PAC in McKinney called McKinney watchdog. I want to avoid confusion between the two groups.
The name Mckinney Speaks also better shows that we are fighting for our local representatives to listen to voters they represent rather than ignoring our voices. More info on our future PAC and McKinney Speaks’ efforts/goals coming at the upcoming digital town hall on zoom!
