As a small business owner (Energy Capital Realty), a 40-Yr Resident of Spring Branch in District A, a former Gulf Coast Sales Manager of a National Co. who is a Million-Dollar Producer opening Fortune 500 Corp accounts, a former Public High School Senior English Teacher & Sub off & on over yrs in Spring Branch High Schools, and as a mother who raised 2 children in our Schools here, I feel most qualified to be elected to District A Houston City Council. I am also a 3X Flood Victim in past 10 yrs in my home of 40 yrs that never flooded before Developers encroached & flooded over 1000 of our homes in the Area; I studied up on why this happened & have discovered it is due to flawed engineering studies leading to faulty commercial construction, leading to flooding. Also City of Houston Infrastructure Design Manual, Chapter 9, Detention Regulations, are NOT being enforced, which is causing our flooding. I also met with top engineers USACE/Galveston in May 2018 and wrote up their Master Plan on how to fix flooding in Houston on their Website Form 7001, was submitted to ASA in DC, and I've since worked with DC Legislators to get it put into the big infrastructure WRDA bills, to get US Congress to appoint USACE/Galveston to be in charge of fixing our flooding, and appropriate them fed funds to do so. If elected to City Council, I know the process, protocol, & people in place to implement this with local government participation. I will also ensure tax dollars allocated for drainage will be spent on drainage. It is essential that Houston surmount its flooding problems for the sake of the City's economic stability, safety in our neighborhoods, better quality of schools, and our financial prosperity, preserving our home values.
  • The 1 Voice on Council who will be FOR THE PEOPLE to fight flooding with Real Solutions
  • Clean City Hall with Budget Transparency for More Share of Tax Dollars going to The People in District A
  • Safer & More Secure Neighborhoods~ Prevent Crime
As a 3X Flood-Victim, I studied up on why hundreds of our homes were suddenly being flooded, & are not in any Floodplain~ I've reviewed flawed engineering studies leading to faulty construction in our Area that has caused our flooding. I have left no stone unturned in studying up on flooding and have Real Solutions on how to alleviate Houston Flooding. The 1st thing I would do is to enforce our Detention Regulations per Infrastructure Design Manual, Chapt 9, which is not being done. Also COH needs to adopt NOAA Atlas 14 Drainage Standards. I also met with USACE/Galveston top engineers & wrote up their Master Plan on fixing Houston flooding on their Website, was submitted to ASA in DC, & I've since worked with DC Legislators to put it into WRDA Bills, to appoint USACE in charge to fix our flooding & appropriate them fed funds to do so. I have other plans on how to fix our flooding, and if elected to City Council, I would have more "authority voice" to implement them. Also, I've joined flood groups with engineers,such as Residents Against Flooding,who study these flawed engineering plans that cause our flooding, and over the past 10 yrs of being flooded, I have spoken with numerous govt authorities on local, state, & federal levels to gather more information about what's wrong & what needs to be done to correct our flooding. I am totally dedicated & passionate about this Cause & know what needs to be done to fix Houston Flooding, to save our homes & City's economic stability.
City Ordinances govern our detention/drainage standards, and impact Houston's Flooding. I believe my Plans to fix Houston Flooding will help to alleviate this problem.
