| Collapse all
- I am running to make El Paso prosperous through economic development opportunities and also through improvement of our Quality of Life. First off, I believe quality of life means being able to keep more of your money and spending less time stuck in traffic. By attracting bigger companies to the El Paso area, we'll be able to retain our UTEP graduates, avoid "brain drain," and also offset or lower our immensely high property taxes. This will then also help to attract more conventions and touristic attractions which will in return help grow the small business community.
- El Paso is a city that is growing and with its sprawled outgrowth, we are having massive traffic problems. Part of the problem has been lacking a master plan for developers but also the lack of major arterial streets and roads to service some of our most dense areas. Again, quality of life to me, is spending less time stuck in traffic and more time in the comfort of your home or getting from point A to point B in a timely manner. I am very familiar with city, county and state streets, roads, and highways and as Commissioner, I will work with all entities involved to solve and improve our traffic problems.
- As a County Commissioner, I know that there are communities outside of the city limits that are lacking in basic services and infrastructure. I am fully aware that there are still places that don't have access to clean water and sewer services. I know that there are still neighborhoods with no sidewalks, streetlights and paved roads. As a commissioner, I will work hard to bring forth these basic necessities for these members of our community that have long been left behind.
