Helping Texas communities move from concept to ballot — and beyond.

At Gap Strategies, we help cities and counties navigate every step of the bond process with confidence, transparency, and trust.

From readiness to public education, we align staff, consultants, elected officials, and residents around one clear goal: building a successful, voter-ready bond program.

Phase 1 · Bond Readiness Audit

🧭 Is now the right time for a bond?
Before any election, understanding your financial landscape and community priorities is essential.

Our team will:

• Assess readiness and timing for a potential bond election

• Collaborate with staff to identify a preliminary list of projects

• Coordinate with your Financial Advisor to analyze debt capacity and funding options

Phase 2 · Citizen-Driven Bond Development

👥 Build a transparent process, shaped by your residents.
We guide citizen advisory committees and help the public understand — and help shape — what’s being proposed.

Our team will:

• Facilitate meetings and consensus for your citizen committee

• Conduct outreach to gather feedback and guide priorities

• Advise staff and council on proposition structure and ballot language

• Support leadership through the election-calling process

Phase 3 · Bond & Ballot Education

📣 Educate, comply, and communicate with clarity.
Once the election is called, we help your team provide voters with clear, factual information that meets all legal requirements.

Our team will:

• Ensure compliance with the Texas Election Code and public information rules

• Develop and implement an educational campaign to explain what’s on the ballot

• Create bilingual materials, FAQs, and digital resources for community outreach
