Who are you? Tell us about yourself.

I'm here to help! My husband & I are proud to be from here and made a choice to raise our family & start our business here too. I am a broker/owner for our residential real estate company & have advocated for many years for families to build their lives here. I take that responsibility for advocacy seriously through service and leadership in many local organizations. I have served on the Comprehensive Plan Committee as well as many others in the city of Arlington. I also have served as Chair of Leadership Arlington and Downtown Arlington Management Corporation. Professionally I have also served for the Arlington Board of Realtors & Texas Realtors in their professional standards department. And if you haven't heard about Women Inspiring Philanthropy, I'd love to tell you more about this great group of women investing in Arlington non-profits. Arlington is our home and we want to continue to make it the best it can be. Of course this has to be done in collaboration with all residents and I'm ready to listen and execute on the goals of the citizens.

Please list below 3 key messages of your campaign. What are the main points you want voters to remember about your goals for your time in office?

• Serve the entire 99 square miles - not just certain areas
• Promote fiscal accountability
• Give Arlington a sense of pride in their city

What areas of public policy are you personally passionate about?

As a Realtor, I advocate for private property rights. As Mayor, I have to balance that advocacy with the rights of the citizens to work toward the best long term outcome for the city of Arlington. Land use is a major issue for our city and the experience that I have in talking with regional development partners and representatives from jurisdictions across the US gives me a unique perspective to look for appropriate solutions. With best case land use, we can plan for more sustainable city services.
