I support a balanced budget that prioritizes core services, especially infrastructure, public safety and mental health increased. Investment in our roads, drainage, basic infrastructure in Precinct 4 will improve safety, reduce long-term repairs cost, and support responsible growth in Precinct 4. At the same time, we must reduce inefficiencies and ensure taxpayer dollars are spent wisely, We must be transparent with our constituents at all time.
The county should focus on prevention, coordination, accountability by expanding mental health services, treatment options and transitional housing. Early intervention benefits both individuals and the community.
I strongly support voting centers because they improve access and convenience while maintaining election security. Voting should be accessible and trustworthy not partisan.
I maintain impartiality by keeping campaign activity separate from my official duties and following all ethical guidelines. Precinct 4 deserves a representative who will work hard for everyone and not just for a political party.
