Plano is a small city in north Texas and is considered part of the Dallas/Fort Worth metropolitan area. Plano is far enough removed enough to have its own charm and personality, but close enough to Dallas to provide convenient access to many big-city amenities. The region’s economy is centered around several large corporations – Toyota, Liberty Mutual, and JC Penney are just a few major corporations with regional offices in the city. Politics in the city are fairly moderate but lean to the right – Collin county was won by Republicans in the 2016 election by about 15%. The surrounding area however is not as reliable of a “red” district compared to other parts of the state – the Dallas region overall, including Plano, is known to be more welcoming and inclusive of the LGBTQ+ community than the more conservative towns of Texas.
