I am running to protect fairness, transparency and accountability in public institutions. Too many residents feel unheard and disconnected from government decisions. I want to strengthen civic trust, defend constitutional rights and ensure that every person is treated equally under the law.

Tarrant County needs a strong leader with significant business experience, who has leadership and communication skills, and who knows how to reduce taxes, eliminate wasteful spending and maintain law and order. I’ve delivered on these key issues over the last three years and want to continue serving Tarrant County residents.

I am running because the current political climate in Tarrant County has created unnecessary division and a lack of accountability. Our constitutional rights have been ignored, transparency has been reduced and taxpayers have seen no meaningful tax relief. True tax reduction comes from responsible use of tax abatements and proper.
My experience as a sitting Tarrant County commissioner qualifies me to continue serving and to serve as county judge. I have demonstrated strong fiscal discipline, keeping tax rates low each year I’ve been in office, never supporting tax rate increases. I understand that good governance is fiscally responsible and people-centered.
