My budget priorities as a County Commissioner focus on core services, public safety, and responsible stewardship of taxpayer dollars. I support maintaining or modestly increasing funding for public safety, courts, and detention operations to keep pace with growth in Precinct 4 and prevent response delays or case backlogs. I also support targeted investment in mental health programs tied to law enforcement and jail diversion to reduce repeat offenses and long-term incarceration costs. Continued funding for roads, drainage, and preventive maintenance protects county assets and directly benefits Precinct 4 residents. I would closely scrutinize administrative growth, duplicative programs, and low-performing initiatives, and when feasible favor pay-as-you-go projects over long-term debt to limit future tax burdens.
Denton County generally does a good job providing the essential services its residents expect. However, two areas that require greater focus and coordination are homelessness and mental health. These challenges are often interconnected, and addressing them effectively requires a closer examination of current programs, funding levels, and service gaps so the county can plan accordingly.
The county must also continue to support and encourage charitable and faith-based organizations that help fill gaps government cannot address alone. Strong partnerships with community organizations are critical to delivering compassionate, effective solutions while maintaining fiscal responsibility.
I am a firm and unequivocal opponent of voting centers. I do not waver on this position. After attending Commissioners Court meetings in person or online nearly every week for close to a year, I have repeatedly witnessed public comments urging the Court to adopt voting centers for both early voting and Election Day. I have made my opposition to voting centers clear—both publicly and privately. Voting centers introduce unnecessary risk. They reduce local control, complicate chain-of-custody oversight, and open the door to fraud, confusion, and operational chaos. I believe elections should be conducted at clearly defined precinct locations where accountability is straightforward and transparency is maximized.
When I began this journey, my intention was to be self-funded and solely beholden to the voters of Precinct 4. I do not turn away donations if someone is so inclined, and I am genuinely humbled when someone believes in me enough to write a check. Maintaining impartiality while raising funds for a partisan campaign requires strict legal compliance, a clear separation between personal and organizational activities, and transparent, non-biased messaging. True success comes with the realization that even in partisan races, effective leadership means communicating with all the people — not just those who donate.
