I'm a US citizen, registered voter, and resident of Seagoville in good standing. I have the skills and experience problem-solving, leadership, and working with the public. I've done volunteering, coaching, church roles, chair boards with other organizations, mentoring elementary school kids. I'm transparent, tech/Ai, finance, own a small business and care about public safety.
Prioritizing essentials, cutting waste and planning ahead for emergencies. Helped organize community events on a tight budget, negotiated with vendors to keep cost under control. I have experience in comparing bids and getting the best value for the money on different projects, not just the cheapest option.
Working with the county and state on law enforcement, courts, and jails. Coordinating with the county on public health, elections, and emergency management. Partnering on the road projects that cross city limits or affect unincorporated areas.
I will treat ever resident with respect and kindness, regardless of their race, religion, gender preference, age, income level, immigration status or political view
When it comes to public transportation, I see the DART form Dallas is losing clientele with the outer cities, it is becoming too expensive to have their services for the city when very few people use their services. It would not be in our best interest to consider public transportation.
Modernizing revenue and spending better, attract business, using data like Ai to cut waste instead of cutting services. Using Ai and modern tools to make services faster and more transparent and to give residents clearer information about where their tax dollars go. Strengthen community policing, investing in the youth programs and public spaces and be very clear about anti-discrimination and equal access to city services
