Real Solutions for Our Small-Town Values
In a town like Fate, where every dollar counts and neighbors look out for each other, we need a City Council member who gets it—someone who has walked the walk, not just talked the talk. Rick Maneval’s that guy. With 30+ years at the Dallas Morning News as a Senior Financial Analyst keeping budgets in line, Rick knows how to stretch a dollar and cut the fluff without hurting what matters. He’s not some big-city politician with fancy promises, he’s a lifelong Texan who’s worked hard, raised a family, and served his church right here in our community.
Rick’s ready to roll up his sleeves for Fate’s over 25,000-strong community. He’ll make sure city hall’s books are wide open so you can see where your hard-earned tax money’s going. No secrets, no waste. He’ll fight to keep our taxes low by trimming fat, not muscle, because he knows families like ours can’t afford reckless spending.
From balancing budgets to growing a church with his Rockwall neighbors, Rick’s proven he can get things done. Now, he’s ready to put that experience to work for Fate—keeping our town safe, thriving, and true to who we are.
"I worked at The Dallas Morning News with Rick for 20 years in various capacities. He was respected for his excellent work ethic by his peers and the management team. He did what it took to get the job done in a timely manner with strong attention to details and customer satisfaction. His communication, analytical and technical skills served him well as he worked with his business partners at The News. He listened to their needs and had the ability to probe and ask critical questions. He developed financial models that helped management identify risks and opportunities in their financial plans and projections. His analysis enabled strategic planning and sound management."
