I am not a career politician. I don't have another job or a business to build. I will work solely for the people of the 35th, 24/7/365. I have no other agenda, but to serve you
I will work hard to improve the lives of the people of the 35th by bringing them better healthcare, jobs and broadband.- I believe that right now, more than ever, we need leaders who aren't driven by party politics - but the desire to help people. I have been helping people my entire life and I'm ready to work tirelessly on behalf of the people in the 35th to bring about needed change. Our district was still recovering from the last recession when COVID-19 hit. We can't afford to wait another 10 years to recover from the COVID-19 recession. Instead we need the right leadership AND a voice at the table where key decisions are made. Today, we have neither, but with your support and your vote we can change that.
- The 35th has no seat at the table where decisions are being made. We are being left out of the conversation when it comes to programs we need to recover from this economic crisis.
- I am not a career politician. I have no other agenda than to serve the people of the 35th.
I believe Broadband internet should be a public utility.
My work experience has also taught me to be a good steward of other people's money. To spend wisely and with reverence, because those who gave it to you, worked hard for it and they trust you to spend it with fairness. Ann Richards, a former Governor of Texas once said that "Life is not fair but, Government should be." I agree.
We must address our healthcare system, including the opioid epidemic.
