Who are you? Tell us about yourself.

My wife, Susan, and I have lived in Denton County for a total of 30 years and we raised our children here. I’m a registered architect and have a Master’s Degree in Business Administration. I recently finished my second term as Mayor of Carrollton where I served the public for eleven years.

I’m running for this position because God granted me the gift of service, and I’ve found that serving the public in elected office has been a great way to exercise that gift. I’m a proven servant leader who leads with integrity and strength of character. In my years of service, I’ve forged strong relationships with leaders across not only Denton County but the entire North Texas region. Those relationships have led to endorsements by so many of those with whom I’ve served, including the entire Denton County Commissioner’s Court, Sheriff Tracy Murphree and over 70 Denton County leaders. These endorsements provide assurance that I’m truly a servant leader who can get things done.

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?

• I want to cut our tax burden on Denton County residents. I’m proud that as an elected official I’ve NEVER voted for a tax rate increase, and, in Carrollton, we’ve cut tax rates eight years in a row and have reduced debt by 20% in ten years. Fiscal responsibility and transparency are key to making sure that our citizen’s dollars are used in the most efficient and effective way possible.
• I want Denton County to be safe! Our most important job as elected officials is public safety, and I’m proud that in my years of service in Carrollton, we reduced crime by as much as 40%. We must make sure that Sheriff Murphree has the resources he needs to protect us and those who can’t protect themselves in Denton County.
• We must reduce traffic and congestion in Denton County. We’re fortunate that we are experiencing such rapid growth in Denton County, but that means more cars on our roads and people using the infrastructure. We have to build and maintain the infrastructure necessary to keep that positive growth possible.

What areas of public policy are you personally passionate about?

The three areas mentioned above are all things I'm not only passionate about, but have years of experience as an elected official working to solve. We need leaders who are willing to set aside personal desires and focus on making things better for our community. That's what I'm most passionate about: solving problems for those whom I serve, and I hope to continue doing that in Denton County.
