What would be your top priorities if you are elected?




KW: My priorities for Precinct 3 remain public safety for all, improving transportation infrastructure and opportunities, providing kind and efficient customer service at county offices and keeping our standard of living as high as possible through economic development. Public safety is the cornerstone of our society and without it, little else matters. People won’t invest in our community if their families, homes and possessions are at risk. We must continue to support our law enforcement officers and our court systems to ensure that Comal County remains the best and safest place to live, work and raise a family.
