Experience Comal County Tax Assessor-Collector (2021-2025), Comal County Business Owner
Campaign Phone Number 830-500-0912
I’m running to lead Comal County with conservative values—protecting taxpayers, supporting law and order, and preserving our quality of life and character through strong, principled servant leadership. I kept my promises as Tax Assessor-Collector and will continue putting citizens first and safeguarding our future.
As County Judge, I would set priorities through planning, data, and collaboration. The Judge is one vote—but the responsibility is to lead consensus. I will work closely with Commissioners, elected officials, cities, school districts, utilities, and first responders to create goals that are best for Comal County through respectful partnerships.

We will focus on public safety, infrastructure, water, and emergency preparedness—using transparent metrics, conservative budgeting, and regular coordination meetings to ensure accountability. My approach is servant leadership: listening first, respecting constitutional roles, and delivering results by bringing community partners together to solve problems efficiently and responsibly.
I’ll prioritize preparedness—not reaction. That means continued investment in flood mitigation, ongoing improvement of low-water crossing and early-warning alerts, strengthening community notification systems, and ensuring unified coordination among fire departments, EMS, law enforcement, including state and federal agencies to protect lives and property.

We need to plan ahead, protect property rights, and insist on responsible growth. By bringing cities, utilities, groundwater districts, and the private sector together, protecting recharge zones, supporting education, conservation and infrastructure, and encouraging supplemental water sources outside Comal County, we can meet growth without sacrificing our quality of life.
Serving Comal County well requires strong, working relationships with our state senator and state representative—and a county judge who will show up. I want the Legislature to restore local control, rein in unfunded mandates, and give counties practical tools to manage growth. I’m willing to go to Austin and fight for Comal County—protecting taxpayers, property rights, water, and infrastructure so decisions are made locally, not dictated in Austin.
