Plano City Council, Place 8
What are the biggest challenges Plano is facing?
How do you plan to address these issues?
Plano’s challenge is maintaining and improving our roads while minimizing disruptions for residents. Additionally, the redevelopment of aging retail spaces is crucial to keeping our city vibrant, attracting businesses and enhancing our economy.
I plan to address these issues by advocating for a strategic, phased approach to road maintenance that minimizes disruptions and ensures a smooth transition for residents. Additionally, I will support plans that encourage the redevelopment of aging retail spaces, attracting new businesses and enhancing Plano’s long-term economic vitality.

Plano’s infrastructure is aging which strains our finances. Repairs need to be made while minimizing disruption, keeping property taxes low and maintaining high quality services. Additionally, for too long, DART has not provided enough value to our residents. They need to work with the city to make changes.
As former Chair of the Park’s Board, I deeply understand how to deliver quality services to the community. Listening to residents, collaborating with staff and understanding budget constraints are essential qualities I bring to the table. No one will have all the answers together to solve any problem.
