What will be your top priorities if you are elected?
I will make it a priority to get an in-town grocery, sit-down upscale restaurants, shopping for anything other than home improvements, and locations to provide family activities so we can live, work and play here as Hutto Hippos. Lastly, I want to see the council drive to completion the water, road and other infrastructure projects already planned but not implemented yet.
What uniquely qualifies you for this position?
I serve on Planning and Zoning as Vice Chair, Chairman of the Zoning Board of Adjustment, and I am on the Hutto Economic Development Corporation. As such, I am qualified to step in and contribute right away to continue Hutto moving in the right direction as I am aware of all the different projects, policies and challenges needing to be addressed. I already helped drive adoption of water and traffic impact fees to have new development help pay for new infrastructure.
