Mayor John Monaco's pitch "Mesquite’s accomplishments, big and small, have always been driven by the people who call it home. The passion Mesquite’s residents share for its betterment and ultimate success are why Mesquite can boast of generations of Texas legacy. The City’s progressive vision is one that is cultivated by its civic and community leaders and by its everyday citizens. I am truly proud of the quality of Mesquite’s business, education, and entertainment options, as well as the quality of life the citizens enjoy. This faith-based community is full of many different denominations and houses of worship ... Mesquite's unique offering of parks and schools within walking distance of almost every home and business make it ideal for families who value its small-town feel and great outdoor amenities."
