Cedar Park Edition | March 2026

Election

KEY: *Incumbent

What will be your top priorities if you are elected? My priorities are strengthening public safety, expanding our road and trail network, securing long- term water supply, expanding economic opportunity, but most of all, building a more closely-connected community. I will continue keeping taxes low while investing responsibly in infrastructure that supports a thriving and vibrant [community] for decades to come. My top priority is restoring integrity and trust in local government. That means a city that follows its own policies, operates transparently, and is accountable to residents. I also want to ensure concerns are addressed promptly and decisions are made openly and fairly.

What do you see as the greatest challenge facing Cedar Park, and how will you address it? Managing and sustaining growth while enhancing our quality of life is both our biggest challenge and opportunity. We address it through proactive planning - expanding roads and trails, securing water supply, hiring more rst responders, and attracting great career opportunities. Growth can and should strengthen our community, not strain it.

Cedar Park’s rapid growth has outpaced how the government operates. As the city has grown more complex, leadership practices must grow with it. I will focus on clear processes, transparency, and accountability so the city government applies rules consistently, earns trust, and keeps pace with the community.
