The City of Shenandoah is a General Law city. The city is governed by an elected city council with six members - five council members and a mayor. The council members share a common goal of achieving the best interests of the city and its residents and businesses. The City Council's responsibilities include: adopting the annual budget, levying taxes, enacting local legislation, setting policies, and future development of the city. Term: Two (2) years
5 Terms City Councilman, President Shenandoah Municipal Development District (8 years), Founding Member Audit Committee (10 years), Investment Committee (10 years), Houston Galveston Area Council (10 years).
The role of a mayor is executive, not ceremonial. Leading a city means managing complex projects across infrastructure, public safety, budgeting, and economic development. With 10 years of City Council experience—experience with no substitute—plus 30 years of project management, PMP, and SAFe credentials, I deliver disciplined, accountable results on time, within budget, and transparently.
We face 2 inseparable challenges: Financial sustainability & the structure of our law‑enforcement model. Police costs are rising more than twice as fast as revenue, creating a structural gap no tax / fee increase can close. Regional competition has put us in a "pay race" we can’t win, making independent policing increasingly unaffordable. Addressing both together is essential to protect our future
Creating Montgomery County Sheriff’s Office District #7 offers us a practical, financially responsible solution to rising policing costs. The model delivers $2–$2.5 million in annual savings, retaining community programs—strengthening public safety on a sustainable path for Shenandoah’s future. District Seven is designed exclusively for Shenandoah, with boundaries matching our city limits.
Our challenges are growing more complex, but our communication approach has not kept pace. Direct dialogue has declined, with no town hall meetings held in the past 4 years & project updates cut by 60%. Improving communication means restoring 2‑way engagement, clearly explaining decisions, and providing consistent updates so residents feel informed, heard, and confident in the city direction.
