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?

• Fiscal Responsibility - Fiscal Responsibility means every tax dollar counts and taxpayers deserve transparency and accountability—especially as Denton County grows. Budgeting should follow clear priorities, funding core services like public safety and infrastructure based on performance and results, while cutting low-value programs and avoiding waste. Spending must be easy for the public to review, and the county should reduce debt, avoid unnecessary borrowing, live within its means, and protect future generations from unsustainable financial burdens.
• Infrastructure - Infrastructure means building for the future by maintaining and improving the roads, bridges, and facilities that support our economy and quality of life in Precinct 4 and across Denton County. This includes prioritizing maintenance and expediting critically needed road projects to relieve congestion, planning long-term growth while preserving our rural character, addressing drainage and flooding to protect homes and businesses, and keeping county buildings and facilities efficient and effective to ensure taxpayer dollars are used wisely.
• Public Safety means protecting our community by fully supporting law enforcement and first responders with the resources, training, and tools they need, including competitive pay and modern equipment. It also means ensuring rural areas of Precinct 4 have timely emergency services and building strong partnerships between law enforcement and the communities they serve through outreach, transparency, and open communication.

What areas of public policy are you personally passionate about?

As County Commissioner, I am passionate about supporting law enforcement and first responders, ensuring public safety, and using taxpayer dollars responsibly through transparent, results-driven budgeting. I will maintain and improve roads, bridges, and county facilities, address congestion and drainage, and plan for growth while preserving our rural character. Above all, I believe government must be customer-focused, remembering that taxpayers are the customer, and I am committed to transparency, community engagement, and accountable leadership.
