Your neighbor. Your voice. Your council.
Daña Tovar for Smithville City Council, Place 5 | May 2, 2026
A Neighbor Who Listens
I'm Daña Tovar, and I'm running for Smithville City Council, Place 5. As a third-generation Smithvillian who has been here for over 40 years, I believe we deserve a council member who keeps the doors open, tells the truth about where our tax dollars go, and actually answers when you knock. I'm not a career politician. I'm a neighbor who has been paying attention.
Transparency
"You deserve to know."
I will advocate for plain-language budget summaries, public project updates, and open-door council communication.
Accessibility
"I answer the door."
I commit to regular community office hours, responding to every resident inquiry, and attending neighborhood gatherings year-round.
Deep Roots
"Over 40 years and counting."
I have been part of Smithville's growth, its challenges, and its wins for a decade and a half. I care about what happens next.
