What uniquely quali es you for this position?

What do you see as the greatest challenge for the city of Cibolo? Cibolo’s greatest challenge is managing growth while protecting quality of life. We must improve infrastructure, address ooding and ensure scal oversight, while keeping Cibolo’s neighborhoods and family friendly character strong for future generations. What is something you want Cibolo residents to know about you? I live on a small homestead with bees, chickens and family land that roots me here. Caring for what grows has taught me stewardship and responsibility. I want residents to know I’ll bring that same care and commitment to serving the people of Cibolo.
What do you see as the greatest challenge for the city of Cibolo?
Challenges will be developing a rain water runo system for our Old Town, invigorating Cibolo’s economy in our Old Town, FM 78 corridor, and our commercial, industrial development zone along I-10. We need to continue developing our connector road systems for easier travel within our city.
What is something you want Cibolo residents to know about you? My wife was born here, and we married and raised our family here. I have a positive outlook for our fair city. Cibolo’s motto is “The City of Choice.” Being respectful, professional and kind are great choices we can all make in leading our fair city.
What will be your top priorities if you are elected? Strengthening Cibolo’s economy in our Old Town, FM 78 corridor and our I-10 commercial district is my priority. A stronger commercial economy will relieve our homeowners’ share in funding our rst responders, roads and city park system. Let’s live, work and shop in Cibolo.
What will be your top priorities if you are elected? My top priority is the people of Cibolo, staying connected, listening and supporting families. I’ll focus on scal oversight, infrastructure and family-friendly spaces, ensuring our community thrives today and for generations.
