| Collapse all
- I am running to bring common-sense leadership back to City Hall. I believe in listening before acting and ensuring every tax dollar is spent with purpose.
- I am a grassroots small business owner and devoted father, I see the challenges our district faces every day. From traffic safety near our schools to the need for sustainable local growth, the issues aren't just political they are personal.
- I am just a concerned citizen, who wants to serve the great people of Arlington Texas and do my part to make it even better in the future.

Main Points
Economics Make Arlington Family Friendly Fort Worth has
What does Arlington Texas have in the middle of the City? But what about the families. We need something, something we can call our own. I want to build the Arlington Entertainment District which is firmly routed and created for families to go out and have some good family-friendly fun. I would have a park, with a nature walk and center, a bowling alley, Arcade a Museum, and restaurants all centered around kids and family. This would bring more jobs for the city, more income our citizens would spend more dollars here instead of going to other cities for this family fun. But ultimately it would bring families to our great city.[1] |
