| Collapse all
- Return to twice a week trash pickup
- Properly compensate Irving Police & Firefighters
- Quicker infrastructure repairs for local streets
I am proud to be endorsed by the Irving Police Association. My plan to secure our streets is to appropriately and immediately seek to increase funding to the police and fire departments in order to improve compensation and benefits. This is to make the City of Irving the DFW leader for attracting and retaining the top qualified law enforcement professionals. This will in turn also improve public safety, increase property value, and result in economic development for Irving residents.
