Who are you? Tell us about yourself.

Ninth Generation Texan, Ninth Generation Liberty Hill. Family homesteaded here in the late 1800's. I was born and raised in western Williamson County. I earned my Eagle Scout rank in 1997 and have been a supporter of the Boy Scouts ever since. Wanting to major in Animal Science but growing up a Longhorn fan, I decided to go to Iowa State near where my maternal grandparents lived on a farm. The farming thing didn't work out like I had planned it in my head and I ended up teaching High School Agricultural Education for ten years (in Iowa) before deciding to return to Central Texas and join my father in his Commercial Real Estate business, which I now own and operate. Since returning to central Texas I am very involved with many organizations that support children. i have none of my own; so I take that responsibility very seriously. In addition to my work with non-profits, I have been very involved in local government, but unable to run because I live in the county. I was pulled to run for County Commissioner because I saw a need for someone who understands that development can be done collaboratively. One where the county, its citizens, and the property owner can all WIN! I'm running to Protect Private Property Rights, To Lower Taxes and Spend Smarter, Roads and Growth That Pay Their Way, To Secure Our Water Future, Support for Law Enforcement and First Responders, and Integrity and Local Control.

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?

• Protection of private property rights. Many of our ancestors settled this land and it has passed through generations to where it is today. If a landowner wants to farm/ranch the property that has been in their family for generations, they should have that right without interference from the county. Additionally, developers should not have their right to develop land held up because the county insists right of way be dedicated to the county for roads that may not be developed for twenty years!
• Roads and Growth that PAY THEIR OWN WAY Developers want nice roads and infrastructure to be brought to their properties. Often times developers use Municipal Utility Districts to achieve better financing options to speed up development and reduce the costs associated with it. The county should work with these developers to expand right of way and bring utilities to areas where they currently are not accessible. Additionally, Right of Way ought to be attained along current roads where some ROW already exists and would be less problematic in attaining additional acreage. Setting new paths is both controversial and expensive. Additionally, I think there is an opportunity for the county to participate in securing our water future.
• Lower Taxes and Smarter Spending The county government has essential services that must be funded. In years of strong economic growth, we often have plenty of money. As a county, we should budget for the lean years. The burden of the new growth that is brought to the county should not fall on the current residents. Our county property taxes should be capped and we ought to find other ways to fund the growth. I think that potentially hiring our own Medical Examiner could eliminate some wasteful spending, allow for more time for the JP courts to adjudicate cases, and potentially open up a revenue stream. Could Artificial Intelligence add to the efficiency of county government, I believe it could!
