Stephen Stanley has spent over 40 years selling real estate around Garland, following his father into the family business before it, and he's run for local office three separate times over the past three decades.
Stanley served on the Sachse City Council in the late 1990s and later on the Garland City Council representing District 3 from 2013 to 2017. A longtime real estate agent, he's running for Texas House District 113 for the second time (after losing to Bowers in 2024) on a platform centered on lowering property taxes, securing the border, and expanding school choice for parents.
Stanley’s take on Texas values
Stanley's platform makes school choice a top priority, saying it empowers parents and students to choose their own school options -- which includes support for private-school voucher-style programs. [Campaign website]
