San Marcos Mayor
Why are you running?
If elected, what would be your top 3 priorities?
Implementation of the Comprehensive Plan. Update of the Land Development Code. Finalize spending federal funds related to COVID-19 recovery. Continue our Strategic Goals of Quality of Life and Sense of Place; Economic Vitality; Public Safety, Core Services, and Fiscal Excellence; Mobility and Connectivity; and Environmental Protection.
Affordable housing. Maintain and grow city services including future water—which we have. Quality of life for all including more grocery stores, more jobs for our residents, and supporting local businesses, while protecting our river and sensitive environmental areas. All of this while spending tax dollars carefully.

I’m running for mayor to bring new energy and ideas to address the pressing issues San Marcos faces. I want to focus on housing affordability, job creation, and infrastructure improvements to make sure that students, families and lifelong residents can all thrive in our community.
1. Expanding housing options that are affordable and accessible. 2. Attracting high-paying jobs to support economic growth. 3. Improving infrastructure to meet current and future needs while protecting our aquifer and natural resources.
