What is the most important issue facing Kyle residents, and how would you address it?

As Kyle grows along with the region, we must focus on developing infrastructure. I have worked hard with sta and council to authorize and fund 10 major road and intersection improvements in Kyle. If re- elected, I will ensure these projects move forward on time and on budget.
Quality of life is of paramount importance to our residents. For Kyle to succeed long term, we must focus on cultivating a balanced and thriving local economy. Thus, we should continue cultivating projects that bring jobs, retail, parks, amenities and a ordability to our community.

Kyle’s foremost concern is infrastructure, with an emphasis on water and roads. For Kyle to be self- sustaining additional water sources and conservation are essential, as mayor I will advocate for both. As mayor I will focus on updating the most utilized roads as well as building roads that create arteries.
It’s crucial to establish a strong city government. This means ensuring council members have equal access to information, to allow them to make better informed votes and build mutual trust.

Phenomenal growth. This growth and current climate change are a ecting transportation and availability of water/electrical resources. I would slow down issuance of building permits and require weekly updates on implementation of road bonds and status of the Alliance Regional Water Authority pipeline.
