Ballotpedia biographical submission form
The candidate completed Ballotpedia's biographical information submission form:
| “ | What is your political philosophy?
I want to be the voice of my constituents. I believe that everyone deserves a fair chance. We should look out for business and look to recruit people to move to our great city. That said we should take care of those Dallasites already living here! We have much in Dallas, but we deserve more. Is there anything you would like to add? Dallas has been my home since I attended TJ Rusk Middle School and North Dallas High School in the 1980's. I have always looked for ways to serve my community, whether that was serving in the Marines, working and coaching students or even when I was a banker. I have the life experience necessary to help propel Dallas and District 9 forward. Let me be your voice at City Hall.[2] |
