Travis Padilla was elected to the Town Council in August 2022. He serves on the Town’s Transportation Advisory Committee and represents the Town on the Arizona Municipal Tax Code Commission and on the League of Arizona Cities and Towns Public Safety, Military Affairs and Courts Committee. 

After being raised in San Antonio, TX, Travis served a two-year church mission in Northern Peru and was married shortly after. He graduated Cum Laude from The University of Texas at San Antonio and founded Strategy Payments in 2004 where he currently operates as President. He is an entrepreneur, investor, lender, and owns real estate properties in multiple states.

With a wonderful wife and five amazing children from 4 to 18 years old, his family has been a part of the Queen Creek community since 2009. 

Travis has been a diligent servant and leader in various local positions over the past 13 years, including serving in leadership positions at church, the Boy Scouts of America, and an all-girls Venture Crew Leader doing high adventure activities with his daughters such as multi-day backpacking, white-water rafting, running, cycling, survival training, cooking, and camping. He also enjoys spending time with his family outdoors and taking them to visit the treasured national parks across the U.S.

Having had greater business success than he deserves, Travis felt the need to use his business knowledge and skills to give back to the community of Queen Creek that has served his family so well and to ensure it remains a great town for his children to raise their children. With the full support of his loving wife and children, as well as strong encouragement by many friends, acquaintances, fellow church members, scouting acquaintances, and business associates in the community, Travis decided to run for Queen Creek Town Council and successfully won the election on Aug. 2, 2022.
