“ Growth doesn’t fail on its own. It fails when leadership approves development before infrastructure — and asks taxpayers to x it later. — Bob Harvey Bob Harvey’s leadership is proven — not theoretical. Montgomery County’s future is decided March 3. Vote for Bob Harvey for your next Montgomery County Commissioner, PCT 2. CURRENT APPROACH vs. BOB HARVEY’S PLAN Growth & Development Current Approach: • Development approved before infrastructure • Problems addressed after residents complain Bob Harvey’s Plan: • Infrastructure required before approval • Enforceable conditions tied to roads & drainage Traffic & FM 1488 Current Approach: • Congestion addressed after traffic spikes • Cut-through traffic handled mostly with signage Bob Harvey’s Plan: • Early coordination with TxDOT & law enforcement • Traffic spillover treated as a safety issue Road Bonds Current Approach: • Broad promises • Limited project-level accountability Bob Harvey’s Plan: • Project-specific bonds • Timelines, deliverables, and public reporting Accountability Current Approach: • Decisions unclear to the public • Responsibility diffused after approval Bob Harvey’s Plan: • Transparent explanations before votes • Leadership that owns outcomes
WHY BOB HARVEY — And Why Change Matters Now Montgomery County is growing faster
capacity and drainage solutions before development approvals — not after residents are already impacted. Conditional Approvals: Development should meet enforceable benchmarks. If infrastructure isn’t delivered, approvals stop. Neighborhood Protection: Cut-through trac and safety concerns would be treated as public-safety issues, not inconveniences. How Bob Would Handle a Road Bond Dierently Past road bonds have often lacked clear, project-level accountability. Voters were asked to trust the process, while timelines and outcomes remained unclear. Bob Harvey would insist on: • Clearly de ned projects before bond approval • Published timelines and measurable deliverables • Independent oversight and public reporting • Prioritizing congestion relief and safety — not political convenience is isn’t theory. It’s how Bob managed larger budgets, higher risk, and tighter accountability at major global energy companies — where failure was not an option and results were measured, not assumed. Why Change Matters Now Montgomery County’s challenges today are not the same as they were a decade ago. Growth has accelerated, stakes are higher, and the margin for error is smaller. Bob Harvey isn’t learning on the job. He’s already done the job — on a bigger stage with actual proven results.
than ever, and that growth demands more than familiarity with county government — it demands a new vision, a higher level of experience, and accountability. e current commissioner has served for years at the county level. But many of the challenges res- idents face today — gridlocked roads, cut-through trac in neighborhoods, and infrastructure lagging behind development — are the result of decisions that approved growth without rst requiring capacity. Bob Harvey believes that approach no longer works. Speci c Dierences Matter Today’s challenges aren’t the same as they were years ago. Rapid growth brings greater infrastruc- ture demands, tougher development decisions, and far more responsibility for taxpayer dollars. Bob Harvey has done exactly that — on an even bigger stage. At Halliburton and other major Houston-based energy companies, Bob managed large-scale operations where planning ahead, managing growth, and delivering results were not optional. Mistakes carried real consequences, and accountability was expected. Because of Montgomery County’s growth, it’s time for change — not change for its own sake, but change that matches the scale of today’s challenges. Under current leadership, development along corridors like FM 1488 moved forward without sucient road capacity or trac relief in place. As growth accelerated, residents were left dealing with congestion, safety concerns, and cut-through trac in residential neighborhoods — then asked to wait for solutions. at’s why Montgomery County needs a new approach now. Bob Harvey would do it dierently. Infrastructure First: Bob would require road
at’s why his experience matters now. And that’s why Montgomery County needs a new approach now.
