What will be your top priorities if you are elected?
I want to create the best quality of life for all of us that call Hutto home. I will continue to focus on our infrastructure needs to ensure we have the water/wastewater needed to support our growth. We need to find solutions to alleviate our traffic issues and commit the funds needed to provide necessary improvements to our roads and complete promised projects.
What uniquely qualifies you for this position?
I have had the honor of serving on the Hutto City Council for over two years. During this time, we have had three city managers, four chief financial officers, three police chiefs and three city secretaries. It is time for stability in City Hall. I am currently participating in the strategic planning sessions that will be used to set our next budget and goals for our current leadership.
What is something you want Hutto residents to know about you?
I have called Hutto home for 24 years and have seen my children graduate here. I honor those who have come before me and those that will come after me. I currently live in the oldest “original” standing house in Hutto. I have traveled to other countries to serve those in need. My commitment is to grow Hutto in a respectful way and bring prosperity to the community.
