The Mayor and Council Members are elected At-Large, where Council Members are elected to Place. Places 1, 3 and 5 have terms expiring in odd years and Places 2, 4 and the Mayor have terms expiring in even years.
I earned my Bachelor’s degree in Public Relations from Indiana University and a Master’s degree in Leadership. My education focused on communication, organizational leadership, and community engagement. Beyond that, I’ve spent more than 20 years actively serving in my church and local community, working with people, organizing initiatives, and helping address real needs. Those experiences have given me a strong understanding of collaboration, listening to different perspectives, and working toward practical solutions for the community.
Responsible growth is one of my top priorities for Dripping Springs, Texas. As our community grows, we must ensure our infrastructure—especially roads and traffic flow—keeps pace while also protecting our precious water resources. At the same time, I want to support the local businesses that make our town unique and help ensure Dripping Springs continues to thrive as a great place to live, work, and raise a family
Immigration policy is primarily a federal responsibility, not something cities create or enforce. The role of a city like Dripping Springs is to focus on public safety, local services, and ensuring our laws are followed while treating people with respect and fairness. Our priority at the city level should be supporting our police, maintaining safe neighborhoods, and making sure city resources are focused on serving residents and strengthening the community
Water is one of the most important issues facing Dripping Springs as our population grows and drought conditions continue across Central Texas. My priority is making sure growth does not outpace our water supply. That means requiring responsible water planning for new developments, encouraging conservation and efficient water use, and carefully evaluating high-usage industrial projects to ensure they are sustainable and don’t put additional strain on our local aquifers.
We also need to work closely with regional partners and water experts to protect long-term supply while exploring strategies like reclaimed water, improved infrastructure, and smart planning so we can support growth without compromising our community’s future.
Public input is one of the most important parts of local government. Residents who take the time to attend and speak at meetings of the Dripping Springs City Council should be treated as valued partners in the decision-making process. I believe clear guidelines should ensure speakers are given adequate time, treated respectfully by council members, and heard without interruption.
In addition, the city should commit to transparency by clearly explaining how public input is considered in deliberations and decisions. When residents feel respected and know their voices matter, it strengthens trust and leads to better outcomes for the entire community of Dripping Springs.
