What in your background qualifies you to serve as Mayor for the City of Boerne?
What are the most pressing issues facing the Boerne City Council?
What are the citizens in City of Boerne telling you about city issues?
I am a 25-year resident of Boerne and raised both of my boys here. I am a proven advocate for the citizens of Boerne. With over two decades of experience in urban planning and development - 18 of those in Boerne. I championed some of the most stringent development and environmentally sensitive regulations in Texas
that have helped to slow the growth over the last 2 years. I am focused on transparency in government, prioritizing the needs of our residents, supporting local businesses, ensuring smart and responsible growth that protects the unique character that makes Boerne special.
Development pressures – Traffic concerns – Addressing water concerns. Decisions need to be made in the best interest of our community—not special interests. Any development allowed to come in should serve the community. It’s okay to say “No”. Transparency in decision making should be our priority. Clear communication is imperative. Looking to our future and finding resources to serve our community is a priority. Until that happens,
enforcing our stringent development regulations is key to slowing growth.
Again and again I hear concern about development. I am committed to being a responsible steward of our community’s resources. Any growth or development should serve the people of Boerne—not the other way around.
