It’s Time to Lead Loudly.

Felicia Ray Owens for New Braunfels City Council – District 4

I’m not here to play it safe—I’m here to make it fair.
Every neighbor who’s been overlooked, silenced, or shut out, this campaign is for you.

WHY I'M RUNNING

I’m running for New Braunfels City Council – District 4 because for too long, too many voices have been missing from the room.

Not ignored.

…MISSING.

In a city as vibrant, growing, and diverse as ours, it’s time we stopped pretending that leadership only looks one way.

I didn’t move here to sit quietly. I moved here to live freely. And I’m not alone.

I’m running because:

  • Our district deserves a council member who listens to everyone—not just the loudest or most well-connected.
  • Families should be able to afford to live here without sacrificing their safety, identity, or dignity.
  • Young voters, new residents, and longtime community members alike deserve leadership that reflects their values.

This campaign isn’t about party lines. It’s about real representation.

It’s about standing up—boldly, visibly, and unapologetically—for every neighbor who’s been told to sit down, be quiet, or “just be grateful to be here.”

What I’m Fighting For

These aren’t just talking points.

These are the values guiding every decision I’ll make at City Hall.

Here’s what I’m fighting for:

Affordable Housing for All

Too many lifelong residents and essential workers are being priced out of their own city. I’ll fight for policies that prioritize affordability, protect renters, and hold developers accountable to the communities they’re building in.

Safe Neighborhoods, Not Just More Patrols

Safety should look like well-lit streets, community-based programs, and spaces where neighbors know each other—not just more funding for ticket books and traffic stops. I believe in proactive safety, not reactive enforcement.

Infrastructure That Honors the People Who Live Here

We need roads, sidewalks, and drainage systems that serve everyone—not just tourists or those in new developments. From water equity during droughts to thoughtful city planning, I’ll fight for infrastructure that keeps up with our growth and respects our past.

Real Access to Government

No more closed doors, unanswered calls, or decisions made behind the scenes. I will host open forums, speak plainly, and make sure every resident—especially the ones historically overlooked—has a seat at the table.

Protecting the Soul of New Braunfels

I’m running to preserve the unique soul of this city—from its cultural roots to its environmental resources. That means honoring our Black, Brown, and Indigenous histories while protecting the Comal and Guadalupe Rivers from exploitation.

Economic Justice & Small Business Growth

I’ll advocate for local entrepreneurs, not just mega-developers. That includes fair permitting, access to city grants, and ensuring that underrepresented business owners get a fair shot.
