Houston City Council, District E
What is the most important issue facing District E, and how would you address it, if elected?
If elected, how do you plan to represent all District E constituents?
Crime is rising at an alarming rate throughout Houston. An increased police presence is critical in addressing this issue. I am proud to be endorsed by the Houston Police Officers’ Union, as these brave and dedicated officers are the reason Houstonians can live, work and enjoy their lives securely.
Representation is contingent on listening to constituents across the district. I am dedicated to spending time in all areas of our diverse district, from Kingwood to Clear Lake, and keeping in touch with local stakeholders to ensure that I hear all needs and concerns in District E.

Public safety is the foundation upon which all other aspects of our community are built. Hiring additional police officers and firefighters, implementing more community policing programs, increasing police presence, additional funding for forensic processing, and ensuring first responders have the resources to do their jobs are of the utmost priority.
I grew up in Sagemont, then moved to Clear Lake and now reside in Kingwood. Being a part of these communities has allowed me to not only develop relationships, but also form a solid understanding of the needs and priorities in order to effectively represent the constituents of District E.
