Who are you? Tell us about yourself.

I am a concerned citizen running for Mayor of Arlington, Texas. I was born and raised in the rural area of Indiana. I've been in Texas for 12 years. I wish I had moved here sooner, but hey, I made it. Texas has changed a lot since I moved here in 2008. The cost of living has gone up. There are more rules and regulations. I came here for the opportunities, the people, no state income tax, and the weather. Arlington, Texas, was the very first city I visited in November of 2007. I was sold. When I came down, it was the first time it had snowed in years. I moved to Tarrant County. June of 2008. I didn't waste too much time getting back.

Ironically I live in Arlington, Texas now.

The cost of living has also gone up in our City of American Dreams. To make it worst, our local government didn't fight for the small businesses during the pandemic. They told them to shut down, and they could open back up if they followed the government's guidelines. They told people they had to wear masks to provide for their families. I believe the people and the businesses in Arlington, Texas, know to stay home if they are sick. I believe our business owners care about the people who visit their establishments, and they didn't need the government telling them to shut down or limit the business they've worked so hard for.

I'm running because it's time for us to put the people first. Freedom is the American Dream. May 1, 2021 VOTE FOR FREEDOM.

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?

• Remove Unconstitutional Policies & Regulations on Arlington Residence and Businesses

• Promote Safety and Work Closely with our First Responders

• Bring the Community together through New Initiatives & Events

What areas of public policy are you personally passionate about?

Deregulating, I want the American Dream to be easier and more cost-efficient to obtain in Arlington, TX. We need to live up to our city's motto and have opportunities available to any of our residents looking to grow and be successful.

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.
