Re-Elect

John Gorena

for Lewisville
City Council Place 4

 

Thank you for taking time to visit my campaign website where I can share with you why I want to be your Lewisville City Council Member, Place 4, as well as, keep you updated on the progress of my campaign and happenings in the City of Lewisville.

My wife, Maria & I have been married since 1981 (29 years in May 2010), and we have raised two children in Lewisville. Both have graduated from Lewisville High School and the University of North Texas. We are Christians and consider ourselves conservative patriotic Americans.  We love living in Lewisville and are proud to call it home.

 

My core values and beliefs, they are: I am a Christian, Conservative, Patriotic American and Texan (I pledge allegiance the Flag of this Country and the State of Texas), anti-abortion, active in the Republican Party (member of four Republican clubs and serve as the precinct chair for my precinct). A TEA Party Republican.  I do not believe in gun control unless you mean holding it with two hands to get a better shot. I believe in term limits, fiscal responsibility, limited government, personal responsibility, the rule-of-law, national sovereignty, and the lowest taxes possible.


Education:  I am a graduate of the University of North Texas with a degree in Emergency Administration and Planning (and 15 hours of graduate level classes for public administration).

Occupation/main source of income:
Current:  My occupation is IT Consultant, Owner of JMG Enterprises: Server & PC Networking, Domain Hosting Services, Web Design Services.  In 1982, I had started a part-time computer repair business in 1982 while working for Texas Instruments and called it JMG Enterprises.  It has grown and it began to demand my time full-time in 2000. It has been a very successful business and continues to grow. 
Previous employment: I was employed with Texas Instruments (1982 to 1993). After volunteering as a firefighter (1987 to 1993), I was led to follow my ambition of being a Firefighter Paramedic for the City of Coppell (1993 to 2000). I also worked part-time in Carrollton on the Fire Chief’s staff in Emergency Management (1996 to 1999) which started as an intern but became a part-time employee for 2 more years.


Civic Involvements/Accomplishments highlights:

Current:
Lewisville Citizens Police Academy Alumni Association, various volunteer work in the Community. I also created and maintain the Sounds Of Lewisville website to have a list of free events in the area for residents, Board member for Citizens for Immigration reform. Member of The Lewisville Chamber of Commerce (since 2000). Though the City Council is not a partisan position I am an active member of the following in Lewisville: Pachyderm Club, Republican Men's Club, Lewisville Area republican club, the Denton County Republican Assembly, and Precinct chair #318.  I was elected to the Lewisville City Council in June 2009 and my first meeting as a councilman was in July 2009.
Previous:
I have had the honor of helping my community in several ways including: church activities, volunteering for the Lewisville Volunteer Fire Department (1987 to 1993), the Boy Scouts, along with my son, John, from (1989 to 2006), as well as, lending a hand with many of the City’s events such as the Christmas Stroll, Summer Blast, Western Days, on the City's Transportation Board (2007 to 2008), Working at the voting locations and Election judge in the last few elections, a sponsor of The Sounds of Lewisville, member of Old Town Business Association.  I regularly attended the City Council Meetings and workshop sessions (since April 2007) before I was elected in June 2009.


Why I am Running:
  As a citizen of Lewisville, I care very much for this city as all the candidates do.  I am running for office because I think the City needs to make decisions differently than they have in the past.  Before I was elected in 2009 to finish the unexpired term of place 4, I had regularly attended City Council meetings and open work shop meetings since April 2007.
     I admit the topic that pushed me to get involved was when the City Council voted to build a Day Labor Site in 2006.  I think that decision was the wrong route to take. Sometimes enough is enough. As a council member, I never would have made that decision for many reasons. I would rather have pushed for enforcement.
     Another reason I ran was because I could not find someone to run with my same core values and beliefs - someone who truly represents me. I did not run ‘just because’ or ‘I want the position title’.  In fact I really tried to get others to run but had to step up when others would not.  As I stated, there are certain topics that got me started on this path but I assure you that I have many concerns beyond those.  I ran because there was a need for someone to stand up for Christian conservative values, American patriotism, and the Rule of Law.

Thank You,

John D. Gorena, for Lewisville City Council Place 4
