Why are you running to be Galveston County sheriff?
If elected, what would your top priorities be throughout the coming term?
Galveston County sheriff
To bring immediate change, reduce crime through proactive policing and increased patrols. Street level drug interdiction, aggressive recruitment [and] retention, accountability and fair and equitable promotional processes. Eliminate the “good ‘ole boy” system.
Once elected, my top priorities will be to reduce gang-related shootings and other violent crimes related to the drug trafficking trade coming from the southern border. Prostitution, burglaries, thefts and nuisance abatement issues in our unincorporated portions of the county.

I want to be sheriff to strengthen community trust, enhance public safety and promote transparency in law enforcement. My goal is to foster stronger relationships between law enforcement and citizens, ensuring a fair, accountable and bipartisan approach to keeping Galveston County safe for all residents.
My priorities are enhancing public safety, improving community engagement, modernizing law enforcement with better de-escalation training and technology, and supporting officer well-being. I’ll work across party lines to address issues like mental health and addiction, focusing on solutions that reduce crime and ensure a safer, united Galveston County.
