My Priorities & Serving the Community

Serving The Community

I’m James Abbey, and I would be honored to serve you on Nassau Bay’s City Council. This community is special to me as I was born, raised, and am now raising my own family here. Having lived here during the glory days of the space program, I am deeply committed to preserving Nassau Bay’s character and promoting our space heritage for future generations.

Experience

I have spent most of my career working with local, state, and federal governments to achieve mutually beneficial results, including funding and delivering significant flood mitigation and infrastructure improvements for communities. Working with the Department of Defense, Health & Human Services, U.S. Reserve Command, Army Corps of Engineers, Texas Parks & Wildlife, General Land Office, and Workforce Commission, I have (i) raised over $450M of funding, (ii) mitigated and remediated flooding, (iii) improved coastal communities’ economic performance, and (iv) delivered over $30M in infrastructure, medical, and public outreach improvements to communities in South Texas.

A Community to Be Proud Of

My priority is to keep Nassau Bay a safe place for families as we prepare for the largest influx of new families in decades. This includes investing in first responders, ensuring fiscal responsibility in the City’s budget, attracting desired businesses and improving parks. As we embark on the largest infrastructure improvements in our city’s history, I plan to leverage my experience working across communities, counties, and state governments. With few commercial lots remaining in the city, decisions in the next term will be vital in shaping our future.  I plan to use innovative perspectives and a collaborative approach to solve complex problems in our city. 

Key Priorities

My key priorities are to:  

• Keep Nassau Bay a safe community that benefits from upgraded infrastructure (wastewater, flood pumping, road and sewer systems).  

• Enhance economic growth in our commercial corridor, attract businesses that benefit residents, enhance the tax base, and push back on more apartments.

• Leverage my experience working with State, County, and Federal entities to secure resources to preserve, protect and improve our community and parks.  

• Create a system that allows for economic impact and fiscal analysis to reign in our growing liabilities and ensure we operate at a surplus with projects   

        demonstrating long-term value for the community.  

• Deliver clear communication among Council, Public Works, Police, community partners, residents, and businesses.
