Jason Herrick for Amarillo Mayor

Core Services. Job Growth. Quality Health Care.

I’m tired of watching the infighting at city hall. It’s time to get to work on things that actually matter like fixing our roads, providing reliable water, and coordinating timely city services. These are things you pay for and should expect from your city government.

I’ve made a living working on complex issues, so join me and let’s solve the big challenges facing Amarillo.

The Issues

INFRASTRUCTURE AND CORE CITY SERVICES

Under our current mayor’s leadership, the city has failed to deliver essential services effectively. Our streets are in severe disrepair, yet there is no funded plan to fix them. Our water treatment plant is in a state of crisis, and the mayor refuses to properly address the issue. Basic services like coordinated trash pickup and snow removal are handled poorly, leaving residents frustrated. Within his first 120 days in office, Jason will present a comprehensive infrastructure plan that prioritizes and addresses these critical needs. For Amarillo to grow and thrive, we must manage these fundamental services competently—this is what you pay for, and it’s what you should expect from your city government.

QUALITY LOCAL HEALTHCARE OPTIONS

Jason is committed to expanding high-quality healthcare in Amarillo so that residents—especially children—no longer have to travel to distant cities for essential outpatient services and specialized care. To achieve this, we must position Amarillo as a center of excellence that attracts top medical talent.

Unfortunately, our mayor has been rapidly depleting the hospital district funds generated from the sale of NWTHS, leaving us with less than 10 years of funding and no plan for the future. As mayor, Jason will leverage Amarillo’s unique position as the only city in the nation with a human health, animal health, and pharmaceutical health school on one campus. He will foster collaboration with our two for-profit hospitals to develop a long-term strategy that keeps our most vulnerable patients from being sent to Lubbock, Dallas, or Houston for care. Instead, we must build a strong community of healthcare professionals right here in Amarillo to serve our own.

JOB GROWTH AND ECONOMIC PROSPERITY

Amarillo is at the crossroads of our country. We have the opportunity to be a hub for manufacturing, transportation and agriculture, but that doesn’t happen by accident. We must be proactive in order to attract new jobs to our area. Unfortunately, the current mayor has destroyed years of work and long-established relationships. He has allowed our regional competitors, like Lubbock and Abilene, to thrive and attract business and investment that would have otherwise looked to Amarillo as a viable option. Prior to his tenure, we brought thousands of jobs to Amarillo with Amazon, Cacique, Ben E. Keith Expansion, Caviness’s Hamburger Facility, the Texas Tech Veterinary School, Austin Hose, and many others. As our next mayor, Jason will put Amarillo back on track for economic growth. He will streamline the building permitting process, bring manufacturing jobs to Amarillo, grow our sales tax base, and make this the most business-friendly environment anywhere in the region.

About Jason Herrick

Jason Herrick is a local entrepreneur and business owner. He joined Pantera Energy Company, an independent Oil and Gas production and exploration company based in Amarillo, in 2001 when it had 4 employees and 90 wells. He has served as president since 2007 and has grown the company into the largest panhandle-based natural gas producer with 54 employees and peaked at nearly 2000 operated wells. Prior to that, he helped start a multi-national firm that worked with large banks around the world on procurement management systems.

Three years ago, the governor appointed Herrick to serve as the Texas Railroad Commission’s representative to the Texas Energy Reliability Council. Last year, he also started his term as Chairman of the Board of the Texas Alliance of Energy Producers. He has previously served terms as president of Amarillo Area Foundation, Don Harrington Discovery Center, Center City of Amarillo, the Panhandle Producers and Royalty Association, Society of Petroleum Engineers, and the Texas Panhandle Regional Economic Development Corporation, as well as leadership roles in several other area non-profits. He also led the citizens’ group that brought the Texas Tech Veterinary School to Amarillo.

Herrick graduated from Texas A&M University with a Bachelor of Science in Industrial Engineering. He has been recognized as the Top Twenty Under 40 (2009) by the Amarillo Chamber of Commerce and the Boss of the Year (2011) by the Panhandle Desk and Derrick club. Jason was awarded the Excellence in Community Service Award (2019) from the Better Business Bureau (BBB). He was also awarded the Outstanding Volunteer Fundraiser (2019) award by the Association of Fundraising Professionals Texas Plains Chapter during their National Philanthropy Day.

Jason is married to Dr. Shannon Herrick, the Chairman of Pediatrics at Texas Tech Health Science Center in Amarillo. They have 3 children, Landry, Ian and Claire. The Herrick Family attend Hillside Christian Church where Jason serves as a Sunday School teacher.
