Who are you? Tell us about yourself.

I am the City of Houston Webmaster, now in my 21st year, and before that I was hired by the Chief of Staff of the Mayor. For my entire career in public service, I have worked with and among the highest levels of City government and their staffs. I have done the websites of four mayors, two controllers, and 62 council members. I have served the people who serve the people, and at the tail end of my public service career, I want to go from behind the scenes to the front and represent the people of District C.

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?

• Budget - Keep a bigger eye on the smaller budget issues
• Transparency - Create a "One Stop Document Shop" on the District C website
• Neighborhoods - Revive the Neighborhoods to Standard Program of the mid-1990s

What areas of public policy are you personally passionate about?

Transparency of public funds. It's our tax money that is being spent, and we have a right to know how it's being spent.
