My work as a MUD Director and nonprofit leader shows that I currently do the core work of a council member. Which include governing a public body, managing tax dollars and infrastructure, and organizing people around community priorities.
I currently serve on an elected board that governs taxing authority, public meetings, and elections, just like a city council. I, along with 4 other board members, make decisions on budgets, tax rates, long‑term planning, and contracts for essential services, which mirrors how a city council oversees city finances and services.
I am motivated by the chance to listen, represent those who feel unheard, and make sure decisions at City Hall reflect the real lives of the people who live, work, and worship in Rosenberg. I am driven by a desire to make Rosenberg safer, more affordable, and more supportive for working families, young people, and seniors.
Two high impact projects Rosenberg should prioritize are: a citywide flood and drainage upgrade program and a targeted street revitalization project.
Citywide Flood and Drainage Upgrades are needed to reduce flooding risk citywide. Fully funding and accelerating drainage, storm sewer, and detention improvements would build on this effort.
The city also needs better sidewalks, bike connections, safer crossings, and more walk-able development.
I will lead on policy, funding, and community organizing. Turning these two ideas into adopted, funded projects with visible neighborhood impact.
I will start with aging neighborhoods. Focusing first on visible, near term investments that stabilize older areas and show current residents they are not being left behind.
Next, I will align a capital improvement plan with a map, so dollars clearly flow first to older infrastructure and strategically fill newer areas.
I’m running to grow Rosenberg’s economy from the inside out. By backing the small businesses that built our community and attracting new employers who create good jobs without overwhelming our neighborhoods.
That means focusing on real main‑street support, smart incentives tied to community benefits, and a city hall that moves at the speed of business. We also need to organize regular “Business Round Tables” in different parts of the city so owners don’t have to come to City Hall to be heard. We can bring City Hall to them.
Safety is a priority for me. City councils control the budget and laws that shape policing, fire/EMS, streets, drainage, and code enforcement, so their votes directly affect whether families feel safe in their homes, on their streets, and in local businesses.
In Rosenberg, safety is not just about crime, it’s also about flooding, dangerous roads, and emergency response. Which is why council decisions on infrastructure, drainage, and traffic rules can literally save lives.
My job on Council is to make smart decisions about policing, flooding and drainage, roads, and emergency services so every neighborhood in Rosenberg can be a place where people feel protected, respected, and able to thrive.
Food insecurity is a big problem in Rosenberg because residents here face rising costs, and barriers like transportation that keep nutritious meals out of reach for too many kids and seniors.
Rosenberg should not have families skipping meals, kids going hungry, and neighbors struggling to afford the basics. As your City Council candidate, I’ll fight for more food drives and more communication around current existing programs so those that need the help can get it.
I have worked in small private business' for over 40 years, which helps because i believe the government should be managed as a businesses. I know how to manage a budget and prioritize needs compare to wants. I also served on Rosenberg city council from 2013 to 2019.
I love being involved with the public and helping people.
Keeping up with infrastructure is very important. We can only do some many upgrades per year, but it's important to keep up with our older areas of town.
Vacant buildings is another issue, The city needs to either enforce the ordinances and/or make some changes/additions to them. And that's part of keeping out city updated and clean.
Street maintenance/cleanliness is also important to keep trash and leaves out of the drainage system.
Ageing neighborhoods is being done yearly by updating infrastructure, streets, sidewalks and drainage.
New business just making sure that our ordinances are fair, but reflects what we want our city to be.
We can help new business's moving into Rosenberg with fair guidelines/ordinances and some tax abatements. Also I think we should promote new and existing business's by doing a focus article in our monthly news letter that goes out every month in the water bill.
We need to prioritize updates of infrastructure and street updates. Again, we can only do some much per year depending on the budget. Keeping good dependable employees is also important. Not being involved over the last 6 years, I would need to see an updated priority list then go from there.
Another issue is the homeless animals. we have so many on the streets and our Rosenberg Shelter is over crowded. Many improvements were made when i was on council before, and I know many more have been accomplished since. But like anything else, it's always changing and have more needs. Getting more grants will help and planning to use the city land at the shelter to be more useful.
