Why are you running for City Council?

I chose to run for City Council to give back—to continue my passionate service to the city in which I am invested, live and have raised my son for the past 15 years. I want to take a more active role in ensuring Hutto keeps its unique qualities and the sense of community, which has drawn so many to call Hutto home.

What are the top issues the city is currently facing?

Hutto faces challenges and opportunities due to recent growth. The solution is leaders who serve with an open mind, promote partnerships, productive communication and community unity. We need to rebuild burned bridges, improve existing relationships and forge new partnerships.

Why should people vote for you?

It takes someone with vision to lead Hutto in a positive direction, one which fosters economic growth, addresses infrastructure and builds unity in our community. I can fulfill that need, listen, serve and be accountable to all residents. I look forward to my continued service to the community.

Why are you running for City Council?

I made the decision to run after hearing from many Hutto residents who are fed up with the ‘business as usual’ mentality at City Hall. I will increase government transparency, eliminate wasteful spending and restore the relationships with surrounding agencies that have been destroyed by a lack of leadership.

What are the top issues the city is currently facing?

We must promote our city to both local and national retailers to expand the local economy while controlling government spending. We must also make our public safety professionals and first responders a priority. We must restore relationships with surrounding agencies that have been destroyed by past failed leadership.

Why should people vote for you?

First and foremost I will be an advocate for the citizens of Hutto. I pledge to restore the public’s faith in our city government by bringing leadership, professionalism and respect to the dais. I will work tirelessly to control government spending, reduce debt and ease the burden on our citizens.
