The reason I am running for city council is "TO HELP PEOPLE" and see that their needs are met.
I believe PEOPLE should come first.
I have previous experience as a city councilor and I will tell you every bad thing you have heard about politics is true.
I love politics and it is ashamed how our political system has mutated into something that our founding fathers would be ashamed of. As a former city councilor I have seen the corruption, the abuse of power and the influence that money has. There has to be accountability!!!
I understand the roll of and elected official. As an elected official they are to represent "The People" and not their own self interests.
I am NOT a "Yes-Man" and I despise the "Good Old Boys Club."
- Everyone deserves a voice in their governing and taxation.
- There has to be accountability when it comes to spending and the burden it puts on the citizens. Also reducing the cities $ 1,157,056,000 debt.
- A local government should be efficient in every aspect to benefit the citizens needs.
I care about every public policy that concerns citizens and I am a very "HANDS ON" kind of politician. I don't mind rolling up my sleeves and getting the job done.
A councilor must be open minded and never bias.
A councilor must be humble and a servant to the people.
No concern is to small concerning a citizen.
Dedicated to serve "The People."
Corruption, in my opinion there is zero tolerance.
TAXATON WITH REPRESENTATION!!!
Public safety is always a concern.
Wasteful spending needs to stop.
Stop trying to be like other cities and develop your own identity.
Bring fun into peoples lives.
Stop taking from people and give back.
Don't over look the little needs or the big needs.
Education and our school system needs to improve.
It is a cities duty to prepare for the unexpected.
There needs to be some "Common Sense" in government.
I believe in term limits.
A city councilor must put the peoples' well being above all.
Budgeting: I honestly believe I could help the tax payers of Lubbock and start paying down our city debt.
We need regular citizens to monitor every aspect of our local government.
FIX IT RIGHT THE FIRST TIME.
My father was a Christian, dedicated to our family and working three jobs at times.
Also, father worked for the City of Lubbock for 37 years. He was the cities Planning and Zoning Administrator. I saw fist hand the dedication and respect he gave to the city and the citizens of Lubbock.
"Let us never forget that government is ourselves and not an alien power over us. The ultimate rulers of our democracy are not a President and senators and congressmen and government officials, but the voters of this country."
MAKING LIFE FAIR
PASSION
DEDICATION
REPRESENTING EVERYONE'S BELIEFS... DISPITE YOUR OWN BELIEFS
YOU COME SECOND... PEOPLE COME FIRST
ALL SHOULD BENEFIT NOT JUST A FEW
INCORRUPTIBLE
$ 1,157,056,000 (Last available figure from Texas State Comptroller August 31, 2018) and my understanding that this figure does not include interest.
Example that comes to mind Davy Crockett.
Listening and relating to citizens concerns.
