Election
*INCUMBENT
The Woodlands Township board of directors, Position 5
What challenges face The Woodlands in the next two years and beyond? Maintaining a low property tax rate and preserving George Mitchell’s vision of a hometown in a natural forest, where generations live, work, worship, learn and play, [which is] jeopardized by cut-through trac, trees lost from development and nature, and increasing crime from an open Southern border.
What areas and amenities in the township should be focused on for growth? The Woodlands was recognized as the best place to live in America. Enhancing sports elds, tennis and pickleball courts, and aquatic facilities; building a performing arts center; and expanding our convention center are vital to supporting favorable sales and hotel taxes, maintaining property values, and meeting our residents’ expectations.

I became a Woodlands resident in 1992, when there were few stores and restaurants and have watched it grow into what we enjoy today. Balancing revitalization while respecting George Mitchell’s vision is a signicant challenge as we look to the future.
Revitalization of our village centers is essential to our community. Residents complete their errands in the village centers, many of which are not fully leased and appear dated. Additionally, with more retirees and residents without children, we need to expand activities and events oered to these growing populations.
