I bring seven years managing exactly what this office requires. On Schertz City Council, I've worked with multi-million dollar budgets, making tough decisions on taxpayer money. With my accounting degree from Texas Southern University, I understand financial accountability. I've navigated complex infrastructure decisions - roads, water, drainage - balancing immediate needs with long-term planning. As liaison to our Economic Development Corporation, I've seen how growth and fiscal responsibility must work together. As Immediate Past President of the Texas Municipal League, I represented over 1,100 cities and learned how to deliver results. I've earned voters' trust three times with increasing support. I show up, do the work, and get it done.
Property tax burden. Our residents are being squeezed. Property values keep climbing, appraisals are aggressive, and people worry about affording their homes.

I can't control appraisals, but I control my vote on the county budget and tax rate. I've managed budgets for seven years - I know the difference between needs and wants.

At Commissioners Court, I'll ask tough questions. Every department justifies their requests. I'll vote no on unnecessary spending and ensure our website makes it easy for taxpayers to see where their money goes.

Precinct 3 needs a commissioner who shows up prepared, asks hard questions, and puts fiscal responsibility first. That's what I've done for seven years, and that's what I'll do for you.
I'll be accessible and responsive. That means answering emails and calls personally, holding regular office hours, and showing up at community meetings to hear what's on people's minds.

I'll use social media to keep Precinct 3 informed about what's happening at Commissioners Court - not just after decisions are made, but while they're being considered so you can weigh in.

Most important: I'll actually listen. I've spent seven years on City Council staying connected to constituents. I don't just show up at election time - I'm there year-round because that's the job.

When issues come before Commissioners Court that affect Precinct 3, your voice will be heard because I'll have already heard from you.
Two things: stop unfunded mandates and give us tools to manage growth.

Last session, the legislature expanded early voting without funding the staffing. They required active shooter plans without budgeting for training. They added immigration enforcement duties without reimbursement. Then they restricted our revenue flexibility to pay for it all.

If Austin wants it done, Austin should pay for it.

Second, we need authority to ensure growth doesn't burden existing taxpayers. Right now, subdivisions go up without adequate infrastructure, and current residents pay the price. I believe in limited government, but taxpayers shouldn't subsidize developer profits or state mandates.
