Biographical Information

What training, experience and background make you the best qualified candidate to be your party’s nominee for this office?

What are the two (2) most pressing issues that you will face in the office that you seek? Describe your specific plans/ideas for addressing these issues.

My background combines public safety, city management and hands-on court experience. I've managed people and budgets for a major corporation and served as a Deputy Clerk handling official records. That experience prepares me to run the District Clerk's Office efficiently, accurately, and with respect for the people it serves.
The two most pressing issues I see are managing the workload so cases don't stall and protecting the integrity of court records.

Fort Bend County is one of the fastest growing counties in the State. That creates more cases for the courts to process. We manage the workload by addressing bottlenecks and making sure technology works for staff to move cases faster instead of slowing them down.

We address the court records by focusing on training staff in the art of file management with regard to accuracy, speed and file sensitivity.

My focus will be efficiency, accuracy and service.
