I currently serve as President of the Valley Ranch Master Association and have also served on the Planning & Zoning Commission. In these roles, I’ve worked closely with residents, law enforcement, and city stakeholders to address safety, infrastructure, and responsible development.
I’m running for City Council because I believe leadership should be grounded in listening, practical problem-solving, and putting residents first.- I will prioritize safer, well-maintained neighborhoods. That means investing in roads, sidewalks, and infrastructure, while ensuring a visible and responsive police presence. I have already worked closely with Irving police on issues like crime trends, patrol presence, and neighborhood safety, and I will continue to advocate for practical, proactive public safety solutions.
- I will protect the character of our neighborhoods while managing growth responsibly. As a Planning & Zoning Commissioner, I pushed for balanced development that avoids over-concentration of apartments and prioritizes quality housing. Irving must grow, but it must grow in a way that supports homeownership, maintains standards, and respects existing communities.
- I will bring disciplined, resident-focused leadership to City Hall. That means being responsible with taxpayer dollars, improving city services, and making decisions based on what residents actually need—not top-down assumptions. I believe in listening first, solving problems early, and keeping government accountable and accessible.
Residents want safe neighborhoods, well-maintained streets and sidewalks, and confidence that their city is growing in a thoughtful way. I care deeply about ensuring Irving invests wisely—prioritizing essential services, improving efficiency, and avoiding unnecessary financial burdens on homeowners.
