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 am committed to transparency, communication, and increasing community engagement. An engaged community is a safer, healthier community.
• I don't want my tax dollars wasted and I doubt you do either, but I'm also a firm believer in making our city and our community one of the best places to live, work, and play. I believe in balancing those interests. There are times to spend, and times to save - I support fiscal responsibility and transparency.
• We need to address the affordable housing crisis and our aging infrastructure and shopping centers - I support incremental redevelopment with mixed uses at a smaller scale within our communities - the shopping centers we visit and pass every day.

Transparency, communication, accountability, economic development, caring for our environment, community engagement, and balancing fiscal responsibility with maintaining attractive public amenities.

Garland's city council directly impacts the daily lives of residents through local laws and decision-making within the framework of higher levels of government. It represents the community to state and federal government, while maintaining local leadership under Home Rule.

Who do you look up to? Whose example would you like to follow, and why?

I look up to Nelson Mandela for his commitment to justice and moral integrity.

I look up to Eleanor Roosevelt for her work in human rights, social justice, and women's rights.

I also look up to Jane Goodall as a representative of women in science, as well as a champion of ethical treatment of animals and environmental conservation.

The only legacy I would like to leave is to have left the world better than I found it.

What is the first historical event that happened in your lifetime that you remember? How old were you at the time?

I distinctly remember watching OJ Simpson's police chase (age 8) and news of Princess Diana's death the morning after it occurred (age 11). I was also vaguely aware of the Gulf War and the breakup of Yugoslavia in the 90s.

Do you believe that it's beneficial for holders of this office to have previous experience in government or politics?

While previous experience in government or politics may be beneficial, I do not believe it is absolutely necessary to advocate for one's district and city. Council is advised on many issues by a well-educated and experienced staff.

Problem solving, ethical leadership, fiscal responsibility, networking, and social awareness.
