Why are you running for office?

I’m running for Frisco City Council to ensure our city’s growth is balanced and sustainable. As a resident and technology professional, I’ll bring data driven, transparent and accountable leadership that protects our quality of life, strengthens infrastructure and ensures every resident’s voice is heard in shaping Frisco’s future.

Frisco deserves transparent, fiscally responsible leadership. After 10 years here, I have seen our city grow rapidly and I believe my 30 years of global executive experience managing billion-dollar budgets gives me the tools to protect taxpayers, hold the line on debt and restore trust in city government.

When outlining the 2040 Strategic Vision in 2020, I realized I could support the goals of the city. I am running for re-election to continue delivering results for our residents through experienced, stable governance. My love for Frisco drives me to ensure our city remains safe, innovative and fiscally responsible.

What would your top priorities be if elected?

Focus on aligning growth with infrastructure, easing traffic through smart planning and ensuring sustainable development. Strengthen transparency with open communication and resident involvement. Prioritize public safety investments and manage taxpayer dollars responsibly so Frisco grows efficiently, safely and sustainably.

Four priorities: transparent leadership, responsible spending, workforce development and community safety. I will require developer disclosure before every vote, pursue grants over new debt, attract high-paying corporate employers and fully fund police and fire. These reflect Frisco’s values and protect our quality of life for years to come.

Reinvestment in aging infrastructure, smart growth and the repeal of SB840 to protect Frisco’s zoning authority. I am dedicated to fueling innovation within the city and attracting top companies, delivering a modern and humane animal facility and utilizing my experience to ensure our city’s future is optimized for everyone.
