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?

• Experienced and educated law enforcement leader ready to work on day one.
• A true fiscal conservative that will apply professional law enforcement principles while being a good steward of our taxdollars.
• Courteous and professional delivery of police services will be maintained at al times by employees.

What areas of public policy are you personally passionate about?

Law enforcement officers should always be viewed as an integral part of the community. Our role is to interact with those we serve and ensure law are applied professionally and in a consistent manner.

Are there any little-known powers or responsibilities held by this office that you believe more people should be aware of?

Most are often confused by the role of the Constable and do not understand the difference between the different law enforcement agencies. Constables and their Deputies are regular Peace Officers in Texas and have countywide jurisdiction just as the Sheriff does. They are primarily tasked with serving the civil process of the courts, serving Class C warrants and providing a Bailiff for the Justice of the Peace. They may also patrol and provide regular law enforcement services.

Do you believe that it's beneficial for holders of this office to have previous experience in government or politics?

This position is the head of a law enforcement agency. Previous management experience is imperative.

Note: Ballotpedia reserves the right to edit Candidate Connection survey responses. Any edits made by Ballotpedia will be clearly marked with [brackets] for the public. If the candidate disagrees with an edit, he or she may request the full removal of the survey response from Ballotpedia.org. Ballotpedia does not edit or correct typographical errors unless the candidate's campaign requests it.
