I’m running because Guadalupe County is at a turning point. Decisions we make about public safety, infrastructure, water and development will shape our county for decades. We can take control of our future with strategic planning and coordinated leadership, not keep hoping things work out on their own. Why are you running for office?
Judge Kutscher asked if I would come back and complete Commissioner Carpenter’s term. I was the Precinct 3 Commissioner for 24 years prior to retiring. He said I was the perfect choice, so he appointed me.
I’ll coordinate with Emergency Management to ensure residents receive timely warnings and closure notifications. Long term I’ll pursue all available funding to enhance safety infrastructure and emergency response throughout the county. I’ll work with Road and Bridge to prioritize dangerous low-water crossing improvements in Precinct 3. How will you ensure your precinct is prepared for extreme weather and flooding?
Our Emergency Management Coordinator has a wear house full of equipment and supplies located at our Schertz facility.
I’ll ensure the county mobilizes resources quickly and coordinates effectively with state and federal agencies. I’ll advocate for our community’s needs, push for timely aid distribution and make sure residents have clear information about available assistance and how to access it. I’ll cut through bureaucracy when constituents need help navigating ... How will you ensure your constituents are able to receive the appropriate aid after natural disasters?
Our county judge along with the commissioner and our [Emergency Operations Center] have a personal relationship with Representative Schoolcraft, who lives in McQueeney, and he has every phone number for Emergency Management in Austin.
I’ll work with [Guadalupe-Blanco River Authority] and regional water authorities to assess current capacity and plan for long-term infrastructure needs. I’ll advocate at the state level for funding and our water rights. County can’t stop development. I’ll demand transparency about water availability and push for honest planning that matches reality. If elected, what do you plan to do to ensure your community has enough water as the county and state continues to grow?
Back in the early 2000s, Schertz and Seguin formed a Local Government Corporation and started exploring Gonzales County for water leases. We built a treatment plant, and constructed a 50-mile pipeline from Gonzales to Seguin and on to Schertz. I was part of this endeavor from the beginning.
