Pearland mayor
What will your biggest priority be if elected?
What changes, if any, would you like to see to the city’s budget? The budget process needs to be brought to residents, not the other way around. I will keep Pearland residents directly in the loop through community town halls and progress reports, while prioritizing sustainable economic growth and smart infrastructure development in my policy.
My biggest priority will be representing every resident of Pearland. Having lived in both East (10y) and West (10y) Pearland, I realize our needs are di erent, but our aspirations are the same. That perspective allows for intentional decision-making that will build better communities and a better Pearland.

My top priorities will be public safety, keeping Pearland a ordable, investing in infrastructure and ood mitigation and managing our growth responsibly so we protect the quality of life residents value.
Residents are feeling real economic pressure. The city’s budget should stay focused on core services —public safety, roads, drainage and infrastructure —while spending taxpayer dollars responsibly. When possible, I support maintaining the no-new-revenue tax rate and increasing the homestead exemption to help keep Pearland a ordable for families.

My top priority is strengthening infrastructure while maintaining responsible nancial management. Residents deserve safe roads, reliable drainage, and transparent government. I will focus on practical solutions that improve daily quality of life while protecting taxpayer dollars and keeping Pearland a safe, family-focused community.
Pearland’s budget should prioritize core services —public safety, infrastructure, and drainage—while maintaining scal responsibility and stable tax rates. I support transparent spending, regular program reviews, and strategic investments that support growth without increasing the nancial burden on residents.
Toshila McLean Occupation & experience:
Impactful, intentional leadership focused on people rst budgeting, data-driven decision making and community engagement.
We have aging infrastructure. We should be investing $5.9M in roads, but we are currently investing only $2.8M. This must increase, along with drainage improvements.
I would like to explore the no-new revenue rate budget, as long as it does not impact on essential services such ROADS (infrastructure).
