I’m running to lead Comal County with conservative values—protecting taxpayers, supporting law and order, and preserving our quality of life and character through strong, principled servant leadership. I kept my promises as Tax Assessor-Collector and will continue putting citizens first and safeguarding our future.
As County Judge, I would set priorities through planning, data, and collaboration. The Judge is one vote—but the responsibility is to lead consensus. I will work closely with Commissioners, elected officials, cities, school districts, utilities, and first responders to create goals that are best for Comal County through respectful partnerships.
We will focus on public safety, infrastructure, water, and emergency preparedness—using transparent metrics, conservative budgeting, and regular coordination meetings to ensure accountability. My approach is servant leadership: listening first, respecting constitutional roles, and delivering results by bringing community partners together to solve problems efficiently and responsibly.
I’ll prioritize preparedness—not reaction. That means continued investment in flood mitigation, ongoing improvement of low-water crossing and early-warning alerts, strengthening community notification systems, and ensuring unified coordination among fire departments, EMS, law enforcement, including state and federal agencies to protect lives and property.
We need to plan ahead, protect property rights, and insist on responsible growth. By bringing cities, utilities, groundwater districts, and the private sector together, protecting recharge zones, supporting education, conservation and infrastructure, and encouraging supplemental water sources outside Comal County, we can meet growth without sacrificing our quality of life.
Serving Comal County well requires strong, working relationships with our state senator and state representative—and a county judge who will show up. I want the Legislature to restore local control, rein in unfunded mandates, and give counties practical tools to manage growth. I’m willing to go to Austin and fight for Comal County—protecting taxpayers, property rights, water, and infrastructure so decisions are made locally, not dictated in Austin.

Experience
15 years of fire/emergency services, Board President for nonprofit organization, Finishing BAAS of Public Administration
I'm a 5th-generation Texan and firefighter with 15 years as a first responder. My frontline emergency experience, Associate’s in Fire Service Administration, and ongoing Bachelor’s in Public Administration qualify me to lead as County Judge and Director of Emergency Management. Raised on a family farm, I understand stewardship and property rights.
Rapid growth strains Comal County’s roads, water, safety, and way of life. I’m motivated to run for strong, accountable leadership: responsible growth, support for law enforcement and first responders, fiscal discipline, and transparent government that puts taxpayers first—not special interests.
As County Judge, I’d set Commissioners Court priorities by focusing on Comal County’s top needs: responsible growth, road/infrastructure upgrades, water protection, public safety, and fiscal discipline.
I’d set the agenda with commissioner and department input, ensuring key issues—developer accountability, long-range planning, water impact studies, Sheriff/EMS resourcing, and transparent budgeting—get first attention. I’d build coalitions through negotiation, clear data, and open dialogue.
I’d collaborate closely with elected officials, state agencies, regional partners, and cities to align efforts, resolve issues, and drive results that put taxpayers first.
As County Judge and Director of Emergency Management, I would prepare Comal County for floods, drought, wildfires, and disasters by updating our emergency operations plan with focus on flood zones, drought protocols, and wildfire mitigation; strengthening coordination with TDEM, DPS, local fire/EMS, cities, and FEMA through regular drills; improving alert systems for clear, timely public warnings; maintaining resource stockpiles and debris/recovery plans; securing budget funding for EMS, rural response, and resilient infrastructure like drainage and flood control; and educating residents via town halls and preparedness outreach. My 15 years as a first responder ensure practical, effective leadership.
I'd like to see the Texas Legislature provide more flexible tools to manage rapid growth and serve communities:
Stronger authority to require developers to fund proportional infrastructure (roads, drainage, water) without state preemption limiting local standards.
Expanded options for dedicated funding streams (e.g., targeted impact fees or regional transportation bonds) to address roads, flood control, and EMS without raising property taxes.
Clearer state support for water protection, such as streamlined groundwater management tools and incentives for drought-resilient planning.
Greater local control over land-use decisions to balance property rights with responsible development, while protecting rural character and taxpayer resources.
