Why are you running to represent League City residents on City Council? I am running for City Council to keep property taxes low, enhance traffic flow and advocate for citizen’s best interests. My commitment is to ethical leadership and government transparency, ensuring our city thrives through responsible and transparent governance.
If elected, what would your top priorities be during the coming term? I prioritize fiscal responsibility, transparency and accountability in our legislative agenda.

Why are you running to represent League City residents on City Council? During my incumbency, I have engaged with thousands of League City residents and found that I have a tireless passion for solving their problems. League City was nominated [as] the fourth safest city in the United States and has some of the lowest taxes around. Let’s keep it that way.
If elected, what would your top priorities be during the coming term? Safety, safety, safety. Without safety, nothing else matters. I intend to continue finding more creative ways to build unfunded infrastructure projects and relieve some of [the] remaining traffic burden we have in select parts of town. Additionally, growth needs to be steered towards a sales tax funding model vs. property tax.

I’m running because the taxpayers of League City deserve to be well-represented. As a conservative and fiscally responsible Republican, I will never vote to raise taxes and I’ll support our first responders. I’ll work alongside City Council to keep our great city moving forward by putting residents first.
My priorities are to lower taxes and make government more efficient and easier to deal with. I’ll support law enforcement and first responders to keep League City a safe place to live and raise a family all while working to manage future growth and planning for the city.
[I’m a] member of the League City Finance Committee, and [I’m running] as a fiscal conservative and taxpayer advocate. [I’m a] balanced business voice for residents, police and firefighters, small business owners and city workers.
Maintain fiscal discipline and ensure the future financial strength of the city. Maintain and improve the quality of life for the community. Continue to improve the infrastructure to address traffic, runoff and other neighborhood concerns.
