I’m Ryan Hanson, and I’m running for office because our local government should work for the people, not behind closed doors. For too long, taxpayers have been expected to trust decisions they’re rarely allowed to see, question, or influence. That stops with me.
My campaign is built on three simple principles:
If it’s public record, it should be truly public—accessible, easy to understand, and shared openly. No hidden agendas. No unnecessary closed sessions. No surprises.
Elected officials should answer to the people who put them there. Every decision, every vote, and every action should reflect the community’s values—not personal convenience or political pressure.
Government should be a conversation, not a lecture. I believe in open dialogue, honest answers, and a willingness to sit down with anyone, whether we agree or not. Your voice matters, and it deserves to be heard.
I’m not running to attack anyone. I’m running to offer a better way of doing business in Van Zandt County: one rooted in integrity, clarity, and respect for the people who call this place home.
OR, send me a txt to 903-484-4442 and let me know who you are and when you can take a call.
