CPA Chris Hill, a McKinney resident running for Collin County Commissioner Precinct 3, announced Monday that he won the McKinney Tea Party straw poll with 58 percent of the vote.

Hill also picked up the North Texas Tea Party’s “Tea Approved” designation. The Tea Approved endorsement is awarded to the candidate whose “background, experience, actions, and voluntary associations” indicate that he will be a champion of the five principles of the tea party once in office. Those five principles are limited government, fiscal responsibility, personal responsibility, the rule of law, and national (and state) sovereignty.

 “I’m thrilled that our local tea party groups have identified me as the conservative, experienced candidate for county commissioner,” Hill said. “I share the same passion for limited government, fiscal responsibility, personal responsibility, the rule of law, and national sovereignty. I’m honored to be ‘Tea Approved,’ and to have won the McKinney Tea Party straw poll.”

The CPA has a master’s degree in business administration and a master’s degree in accounting. Laura and Chris have been married for 14 years and have three children. They are active members of Christ Fellowship church in McKinney.
