We have a leadership crisis. Our city council is periodically dysfunctional, hindering operations. I’ll bring a mature, solutions oriented approach to problem solving. Collaboration is key, where relationships with all stakeholders are valued and respected. I’ll mend fences with city sta¢, Williamson County, Hutto ISD and community non-prot organizations. What do you see as the greatest challenge for the city, and how will you improve it?
The greatest challenge Hutto faces is managing rapid growth, overcrowded roads, and rising taxes. I will prioritize these issues, ensuring development pays their fair share and that residents are not burdened with unnecessary tax increases. Responsible growth and infrastructure improvements will benet everyone in our community.
Help Hutto stay nimble in a dynamic landscape; Economy, Projects, Debt, Growth. Managing to benet ALL residents is the challenge. Focus on the Hutto silent majority; they may not feel empowered, they may not understand avenues of communication, they may not feel that their concerns heard or gain Council attention.
