Empowering McKinney Through Affordable AI Solutions

By Taylor Willingham, Candidate for Mayor of McKinney

Imagine This…

1️⃣ Imagine picking up the phone and speaking with someone who knows everything happening in McKinney—local events, road closures, city updates, and more.

2️⃣ Imagine having access to accurate, up-to-date legal knowledge about social programs, housing assistance, and financial aid without the hassle of searching for answers online.

3️⃣ Imagine knowing exactly which local businesses offer the services you need, which restaurants have discounts, and where to find emergency resources in times of crisis—all with a quick call.

Now, picture this real-life scenario:

An AI-Powered Lifeline for Our Community

You're chatting with your elderly neighbor on a cold evening when she shares a heartbreaking truth—her heating is off. She can’t afford the utility bill, so she’s choosing to suffer through the cold.

Wanting to help, you call my office, where I charge a consultation fee to find solutions. She doesn’t have the money to pay for expert advice, and you’re not sure where to turn.

Then, you remember: McKinney has an AI-powered social service hotline.

You call and ask about utility assistance programs. Within seconds, the AI provides step-by-step instructions for applying to a Texas program that helps cover utility costs for low-income residents. It list off all local charities and resources available to her and the people she should speak to for help.

No waiting on hold, no bureaucratic runaround, no consultation fees—just real help, instantly available.

Why This Matters for McKinney

1. Affordable Help for Everyone

Many people in our city don’t have the means to hire a lawyer or consultant when they need critical information. This AI service ensures that help is accessible to anyone—no matter their income level.

2. Cost-Effective for Taxpayers

Instead of spending city funds hiring more staff to handle inquiries, AI can provide fast, accurate answers at a fraction of the cost, saving tax dollars for bigger community projects.

3. Faster, Smarter City Services

By automating common questions, we free up city employees to handle urgent matters while residents get the information they need instantly—no long wait times, no frustrating transfers.

A Smarter Future for McKinney

This isn’t about replacing human workers—it’s about using AI to expand access to vital services, improve efficiency, and ensure no one is left behind.

Imagine a McKinney where help is just a phone call away—where technology makes government smarter, more responsive, and more affordable. That’s the future I want to bring to our city.
