I love serving the community and feel I still have a job to do! Why are you running for o ce?
Selma has a strong foundation, and I’m running to build on it with thoughtful, community-focused leadership. As our city grows, we must stay focused on infrastructure, quality of life, and connection. I’m committed to listening, working together and helping ensure Selma continues to thrive for everyone who calls it home.
My top priorities would be water resources, keeping the taxes low and planned business growth. What would your top priorities be if you are elected?
My priorities are to listen to our residents, support safety and protect the quality of life that makes Selma a great place to live.
The biggest challenge facing the city of Selma is managing rapid industrial and commercial growth within a limited geographic area. We would manage it through Economic Development. What do you think is the biggest challenge Selma faces in the next ve years? How do you plan to address it?
Selma’s biggest challenge is keeping our infrastructure and services aligned with the needs of our community while preserving our quality of life. I am committed to listening to residents, focusing on practical solutions and making thoughtful decisions that help move our city forward in a way that supports everyone.
Continued transportation options and improvements. What resources do you think Selma is lacking?
Selma has a strong foundation, and we have an opportunity to be more proactive. We should focus on planning for infrastructure and services before demand increases, while also investing in community spaces that bring people together and keep residents connected.
I was born in New Braunfels and have lived in this area my entire life. In 2019 I lled my husband’s (Ken Harris) unexpired term. What is one thing you want the community to know about you?
I want the community to know that I’m ready to build on the strong foundation we have in Selma. I’m committed to listening and helping move our city forward in a way that continues to support our residents.
