J.J. Robb Endorses Bernie Scheffler for Fort Worth City Council District 9

South Fort Worth Real Estate Services firm gives endorsement based on small-business friendliness, concerns about urban gas drilling and property values

J.J. Robb Real Estate Services, a service-oriented residential real estate firm in Fort Worth South, has endorsed Bernie Scheffler for the district 9 city council seat to be vacated by Wendy Davis.

 

Owners Jeff Inman and Robb See point to Scheffler’s small business credentials as a primary reason for their endorsement. “Downtown is full of old money and career bureaucrats, so small business owners like us don’t have a voice,” See said. “Bernie can give us the voice we need.”

 

See also noted a deep concern about urban gas drilling, both from a business and personal standpoints. “There’s no question in my mind that urban gas drilling will hurt property values in our area,” See said. “And I feel strongly that it’s just not safe. What if there’s an explosion? What happens when every 15 minutes loaded water trucks are barreling through people’s neighborhoods where they’re trying to raise their kids?”

 

"J.J. Robb is one of the best-known locally-owned real estate firms, and they continue to thrive thanks to their tremendous level of personal service," Scheffler said. “I’m honored to have their endorsement, and I look forward to helping protect the neighborhoods where they live and do business.”
