I am a lifetime resident of Guadalupe County, rancher, landowner, and homeowner. I am not a politician and have never run for public office. In my current position managing multi-million dollar accounts, I am tasked with trouble shooting and resolving customer issues, environmental obstacles, and managing internal and external budgets. I provide infrastructure solutions to maximize profits, all while optimizing inefficiencies to establish a healthy bottom line. I will utilize these skills to ensure the county is properly managed and taxpayers’ money is allocated efficiently. When elected, I will leave my full-time position to focus solely on commissioning for the county.
I have a vision centered around the importance of public safety, responsible economic growth, efficient allocation of taxpayers’ money, building infrastructure, and supporting law enforcement and first responders. By investing in quality infrastructure, we can create an economic landscape that not only sustains us today but ensures prosperity for generations to come. Together, we can strike a balance that preserves our rural way of life while embracing progress and innovation. In the face of growth, we cannot overlook the importance of public safety and security. I pledge to be a tireless advocate for economic growth, a guardian of our rural heritage, and a steadfast supporter of those who keep us safe.

I am the only candidate who is uniquely experienced in the multiple areas that encompass the commissioner role. I served for years as a criminal and civil attorney for the county and am familiar with our county departments from the inside already. I am also the only candidate who has served in a law enforcement capacity, worked closely with Child Protective Services (CPS) abuse prevention and response, and truly understands the resources necessary to ensure they can do their job to keep us safe. I am a real estate, property, and business attorney dealing with construction, building, purchase, sales, contracts, and compliance cases. I have experience making decisions in a court room setting. I am passionate about the success of my community!
Financial responsibility regarding taxpayer dollars while prioritizing the SAFETY of our community, EDUCATION for our children, and QUALITY OF ROADS, especially now with the staggering growth we are experiencing. We must foster responsible growth with sound infrastructure, preserve our long-standing cultural values and respect landowner rights. I am committed to working closely with our educators and parents to ensure our schools have the resources they need, and our children have the education they deserve. Cooperation with our other governmental organizations, school districts, economic development committees, and the citizens themselves will ensure we are making the best use of our resources and keep Guadalupe County prosperous.
