Occupation
Tarrant County Commissioner, Precinct 2
I graduated from Texas Woman’s University with a B.A. and held several positions in communications and media relations, including at several Dallas-Fort Worth radio stations, and as a TV news copywriter. I have more than 22+ years in 9-1-1 public safety. I am a member of Alpha Kappa Alpha sorority Inc.. I am the proud mother of 3 children.
I have served as Tarrant County Commissioner for Precinct 2 since 2023, giving me firsthand experience managing county budgets and services. Before taking office, I spent 10 years as Arlington NAACP president, served on the ACLU of Texas board, and led civic and nonprofit organizations focused on housing, health equity, and community development. My record as County Commissioner of cutting waste, lowering the tax rate, and expanding services has prepared me to lead as Tarrant County Judge.
Shawn Fraraccio spent 480 days in jail when he needed behavioral health care. JPS and MHMR know how to provide that care, but they cannot meet the need while the Republican majority underfunds county services. Commissioners Court must provide the resources for adequate staffing, timely screenings, uninterrupted medication, crisis stabilization, and discharge planning. We must also fund diversion and mobile crisis response so people who need treatment are not sent to jail in the first place.
I will restore two Commissioners Court meetings each month, hold quarterly meetings across Tarrant County, and roll back restrictive public comment rules. Agendas, budgets, and documents will be clear, accessible, and available early enough for residents to shape decisions. Meetings will include hybrid access, interpretation, captioning, and ADA accommodations. We will publish what we heard, what changed, next steps, and response timelines so public input leads to visible follow-through.
The Republican majority eliminated the Health and Human Services Department, stripping away the county's infrastructure for connecting residents to basic needs. I will restore a dedicated HHS department, fully fund MHMR and JPS, and strengthen coordination between county systems, nonprofits, and schools so families can get help before they hit a crisis. No resident should fall through the cracks because the county walked away.
1. Stop cutting polling sites
2. Protect the independence of our Elections Administrator
Tarrant County just voted to eliminate 92 Election Day voting sites. In November 2025, my opponent shut down 125 polling sites. This was preceded by the June 2025 mid-decade gerrymandering of the county. Restoring trust requires restoring access. The county should invest in public communications about election procedures, support bilingual materials, and ensure adequate staffing and equipment.
Affordability is the defining issue for Tarrant County families. Housing costs are rising, wages are not keeping up, and the county has the highest concentration of medical debt among the nation's 20 most-populated counties. I will use county tools to preserve affordable housing, prevent evictions, and expand access to healthcare. Government should make life more affordable, not more difficult.
