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?

• My key message is about building safer, stronger communities by providing essential resources to law enforcement and investing in youth engagement. I am committed to ensuring our law enforcement officers are equipped with the tools and training they need to effectively protect our neighborhoods. Additionally, I believe collaboration with successful organizations is crucial in creating opportunities for our youth, such as making sports clubs accessible across our precinct. By driving a community engagement campaign that focuses on youth involvement and crime prevention, we can reduce crime and create a brighter future for all.
• My second key message on infrastructure is focused on ADVOCATING FOR BETTER INFRASTRUCTURE to improve safety and efficiency in Bexar County. Many of our roads are dangerous, making it hard for both civilians and emergency vehicles to travel. I will push for funding to repair and improve roads, pave sand roads, and enhance traffic flow, giving residents more time and reducing risks. Better infrastructure will also allow first responders to reach emergencies faster, and it can lower insurance costs in high-risk areas. I will advocate for a county-wide vision and strategy to ensure our projects align with long-term goals, not just short-term fixes.
• My third key message is centered on PROMOTING FINANCIAL GROWTH FOR ALL. I pledge to ensure that jobs remain fair and equitable, giving residents the opportunities they deserve. Using my experience, I will work to bring the right jobs to Precinct 1, focusing on areas lacking essential amenities. I will advocate for transportation improvements in our communities, so residents with limited access can reach jobs and provide for their families. By addressing employment deserts and improving access, we can create a stronger, more prosperous community where everyone has the chance to thrive.

What areas of public policy are you personally passionate about?

I am passionate about effectiveness and efficiency in public policy, focusing on three key areas: public safety, infrastructure, and financial growth.

In public safety, I believe in equipping law enforcement with the right training and resources to perform effectively. I also support initiatives that engage youth in productive activities to prevent crime, like expanding access to sports programs.
Regarding infrastructure, I’m committed to improving dangerous roads and enhancing traffic flow to ensure safety and enable emergency responders to reach incidents quickly.

For financial growth, I aim to promote policies that bring equitable jobs to our precinct. By addressing transportation and employment deserts, we can enhance access to all.
