Infrastructure

Business

Crime
- Excerpt: "I will fight to ensure public safety officers receive appropriate and fundable compensation and benefits and the proper equipment to do their jobs. I will fight to support an increased police presence in our neighborhoods and on our streets and also advocate ending policies that limit the role law of enforcement officers in enforcing immigration laws."
Privatization
- Excerpt: "I support reviewing services which may be privatized for effectiveness and efficiency and will monitor smooth transitions to the private sector, and I support partnering with Harris and neighboring counties to provide unnecessarily duplicated services."
Communication
