Affordable housing, fair wages, and public safety. In the past, I actively served residents of Council District D and have the record to prove it. As an at-large member, I look forward to working with city leaders to develop common-sense solutions to these issues that benefit all Houstonians.
The biggest issues are public safety, aging infrastructure, and cost of living. Houstonians deserve safe, quality lives without being taxed out of their homes. I will ensure every hard-earned tax dollar is used wisely, focusing on core services, cutting waste, and investing in projects that deliver real value to residents.

Income inequality. This manifests in multiple ways, through disparities in transit, drainage, healthcare, clean air, education, economic opportunity. Our water supply is on the verge of collapse, and the problem is being exacerbated by data centers. We should invest in water treatment plants and shut down new data center developments.
The issues that Houstonians are facing are failing infrastructure, flooding, and lack of law & order. I will address these issues by introducing reforms, and incentives to direct funding to critical infrastructure, and improve drainage and flood mitigation.

Houston’s biggest challenges are poverty, housing, safety, wages, and infrastructure and they are all tied to workforce development. I will drive apprenticeships, livable-wage jobs, and employer accountability for tax breaks, while linking housing policy to income growth. By expanding opportunity, training locals to build resilient infrastructure, and strengthening safety through jobs ...
Houstonians face rampant criminal activity, a lack of affordable housing, and limited access to healthcare. I will back law enforcement, cut red tape to expand housing options, and support community-based healthcare solutions that put families first. My focus is on safety, stability, and opportunity without higher taxes or bigger government.
Public safety is a top concern. To combat rising crime, I’ll advocate for smarter use of technology, such as expanded video surveillance, and enhance community partnerships so that law enforcement can respond more effectively. Supporting our vulnerable populations, including juveniles, seniors, and people experiencing homelessness, is also essential.

Public safety, affordable and reliable city services, and infrastructure. I will work closely with the city controller to monitor the efficiency and effectiveness of city programs and services, and with the administration to generate new sources of revenue, including investing in grant writers to secure more nonprofit and foundation funding.
The biggest issues are public safety, flooding and affordability. Houstonians struggle with safety concerns, infrastructure gaps and rising costs. I will address these challenges by allocating and long-term solutions. Collaborate with agencies and partners and ensure resources reach communities creating a safer, stronger and more affordable Houston.
