Service • Experience • Trust

Gopal Is An Experienced Leader

Frisco thrives as a top destination for families and employers thanks to two powerhouses: our Frisco ISD and the Frisco Economic Development Corporation, a magnet for job-creating businesses. I’ve had the distinct privilege of serving in leadership roles on both—six years shaping the future of our children as an FISD trustee, as well as directly driving our economic growth on the EDC.

My time on the EDC board provided me with an insider’s view of how we attract and retain top-tier employers like TIAA, Keurig Dr Pepper, and PGA—delivering not just jobs, but also critically relieving the residential tax burden.

I am not just talking about Frisco’s future; I have been actively shaping it for years. No other candidate comes close to this caliber of service and firsthand experience with the very institutions that define Frisco’s success.

I’ve been at the heart of what makes Frisco exceptional. That’s the proven difference I bring to the Frisco City Council.
