What do you think is the most pressing issue for local residents, and what will you do to address it? Drainage remains a key concern. We’ve made significant progress in flood mitigation, but improvements must continue. I will prioritize funding, partnerships and strategic planning to advance drainage projects that protect homes and businesses.

What do you think is the most pressing issue for local residents, and what will you do to address it? Local government becoming way too big and increasingly inefficient at the same time, like trying to grow the tourism bureau to be a planner and instilling sole power for [city of Katy] events, while letting our public works and permitting departments suffer. The solution is getting core priorities back in order.
