In Scouting and at West Point, I learned that steady servant leadership produces real results. As Mayor, those results have been safe neighborhoods, low taxes, new parks and an award-winning library.
I believe that Cedar Park succeeds when we work together. I have partnered with nearby cities, counties, and regional leaders on water planning, emergency response, and transportation so we solve problems before they grow. Whether it’s securing long-term water supply or improving major corridors, collaboration ensures sustainable growth and protects the quality of life our families value.
Clean water and reliable energy require planning ahead. We are completing the Deep Water Intake Project to protect our water supply during severe drought and expanding conservation and re-use efforts citywide. We continue investing in and supporting strong utility infrastructure and holding utility providers accountable so families and businesses can depend on essential services in every season.
Safer streets and neighborhoods are my top priorities. Since my election in 2022, we’ve hired 10 more police officers and 7 more firefighters to keep pace with growth. We are investing in training, equipment, and facilities so first responders are prepared for any crisis. Lastly, we are improving traffic safety through intersection upgrades and roadways, including 889 high visibility crosswalks!
We are completing the 183A frontage roads, improving key intersections, and growing our road and trail network to reduce congestion and better connect neighborhoods. I will continue pursuing state and federal funding to stretch local dollars. On housing, we support responsible growth that expands options, vibrancy and walkability while preserving the character that makes Cedar Park special.
As a former Cedar Park firefighter, I bring firsthand public service experience. I stand committed to integrity, accountability, and leadership that protects the community and public servants.
Cedar Park sits in a rapidly growing region, making regional cooperation essential. I will work with neighboring cities such as Leander, Round Rock, and Austin on transportation and infrastructure; collaborate with regional water partners; and strengthen mutual aid coordination and joint training with area police, EMS, and fire departments to enhance regional emergency preparedness.
I support stronger water conservation standards in new developments, including xeriscaping, efficient irrigation, and expanded reclaimed water use, along with long-term water supply planning. On energy, I will work with PEC and regional partners to improve grid resilience and expand access to efficiency measures, solar options, and renewable solutions.
As a former firefighter and advanced EMT, I understand how public safety priorities affect daily operations. My top priorities are strengthening training, pre-planning, and hydrant inspection documentation tied to our ISO Class 1 rating; aligning administrative procedures across public safety departments; and creating a Professional Standards Office to ensure fair, consistent accountability.
Cedar Park’s growth must be matched with infrastructure planning. I support targeted improvements to major corridors, better coordination with regional transit, and expanding bike and pedestrian connections. On housing, I support thoughtful zoning that allows diverse housing options near jobs and transportation.
