What is your top priority if elected?

Structure, transparent and fiscal discipline decision making

Debt servicing—there are three certificates of obligation for the Hyatt Hotel and a payment due for interest only of $3,273,400 for both 2024 and 2025. In 2051, the combined principle of $77,090,000 and interest cost of $59,363,925 brings the total debt calculated to $136,452,925. Plus, there are bonds.

Several places within the city demand our attention. However, ethics among city leaders is crucial. The voters and the citizens of Conroe need to be able to depend on what they hear coming out of Conroe City Council. Without honesty and integrity, they have nothing.

How would you approach planning the city’s next fiscal year budget?

Achieve financial solvency

Review year-over-year budget (YOY), sales tax receipts and allocation, population analysis for past three years, review projected revenues for 2024-2025 to prepare a baseline budget by city department. Project expected population for the budget year and compare to the prior YOY information.

We will research and interview city department heads and project leaders to establish current successes and challenges. Then, we'll formulate resolutions to those challenges, balancing it all with growth forecasts.
