Election

BY JESSICA SHORTEN

Montgomery County Precinct 3 commissioner, Republican Primary

*INCUMBENT

What is the biggest issue you feel Precinct 3 is facing in the next four years? Over the next four years it is crucial that we protect our quality of life. As we grow this is a serious issue. Having a knowledgeable team in a place that understands mobility, drainage, public safety, our community, county nances and how to get this done is paramount to success.

What are your core priorities if elected?

My focus remains as it has since my election: improve mobility and safety on our roadways, engage with stakeholders to improve our precinct, lead the county in storm preparedness/response, work with law enforcement to keep us safe, and do this to protect and improve our quality of life.

James Noack* Occupation: commissioner Relevant experience: 17 years nancial industry www.jamesnoack.com

I will champion our community’s conservative values, collaborate with residents to prioritize projects, steer resources into vital infrastructure projects, and work with the sheriŠ and the constable to keep our community safe.

Growth. We have to get ahead of traŽc, crime and ‘ooding. We are one of the fastest growing counties in the country, and we are right next to the fourth largest city in the country. Reacting to a problem means the damage is already done. We have to be better.
