Tony Carbone has proudly served the residents of Pearland on City Council for the past thirteen years, including service as Mayor Pro Tem. During that time, he has worked on the issues that most directly affect quality of life in Pearland: public safety, infrastructure, responsible development, utilities, and long-term financial planning. A Certified Public Accountant and small-business owner, Tony brings both public-service experience and private-sector financial discipline to local government. His professional background has shaped a practical leadership style focused on careful budgeting, accountability, and making decisions that protect taxpayers while planning responsibly for the future. Tony has also been active in Pearland’s civic and community life beyond City Council, including involvement with organizations such as Leadership Pearland, the 288 Corridor Rotary Club (Treasurer), Pearland Economic Development Corporation strategic planning efforts, the City of Pearland Audit Committee (Chair), the Pearland Chamber of Commerce (Past Chair), the Pearland ISD Education Foundation (Past President), and many other ad hoc committees. He believes Pearland’s success depends on steady leadership, strong public safety, thoughtful growth, and a clear commitment to keeping the city a place where families and businesses can thrive. Tony and his wife, Crystal, are raising their three daughters in Pearland, and their family is deeply invested in the future of the community they call home.
