Meet Doug Charles
Common Sense leadership for ALL of Prosper
I moved to Prosper 20 years ago for the same reasons you probably did—great schools, safe neighborhoods, and room to raise a family. Back then, everybody knew your name, Friday night football was the center of town, and Small Town, Big Heart wasn't just a slogan—it was how we lived. We've grown fast, and somewhere along the way, we started losing that feel. I'm running to make sure we get it back.
I've served on the Planning & Zoning Commission, the 2020 Bond Committee, and led the Windsong Ranch PISD annexation effort that will bring $6.5M in annual tax revenue to Prosper ISD.
Whether you've been here 20 years or 2 months, you deserve a voice at the table.
