Why are you running for office?
I am running to bring experienced, steady leadership to Austin. After 20 years practicing law, owning a small business, and raising a family here, I understand how state decisions affect families, employers, and communities. I want practical solutions rooted in conservative principles.
What would your top priorities be if elected?
My top priorities are strengthening public safety, protecting taxpayers, improving infrastructure, supporting responsible economic growth, and ensuring state government remains efficient and accountable. Every decision should be measured by whether it helps families, small businesses, and our community thrive.
What are the biggest challenges facing this district?
Rapid growth, rising property taxes, infrastructure strain, school funding pressures, and flood risk are major challenges. Families need relief from rising costs while ensuring our roads, schools, and utilities keep pace with growth without sacrificing local control or fiscal responsibility.
How do you plan to address these issues?
I will focus on fiscally responsible budgeting, infrastructure planning tied to growth, property tax relief, and collaboration with local governments. My legal background allows me to evaluate policy impacts carefully and advocate for solutions that are sustainable, practical, and respectful of taxpayers.
If elected, what will your priorities be for the future of Texas education?
My priorities include parental involvement, local control, safe schools, and strong accountability. We must support teachers, prepare students for careers and higher education, and ensure funding follows students—while respecting families’ values and keeping education decisions close to home.
If elected, what will your priorities be regarding property taxes and housing affordability?
I will prioritize property tax relief, transparency in appraisal processes, and policies that encourage responsible housing development. Families should not be taxed out of their homes, and housing supply must grow thoughtfully to keep costs manageable while protecting neighborhoods.
How will you ensure your district is prepared for extreme weather and flooding?
Preparation requires smart infrastructure investment, drainage improvements, and coordination with state and local agencies. I will support proactive planning, responsible funding, and long-term mitigation strategies that reduce risk while respecting property rights and local priorities.
How will you ensure your constituents are able to receive the appropriate aid after natural disasters?
I will work to streamline disaster response, improve communication, and ensure state resources reach affected communities quickly. Clear rules, accountability, and coordination with local officials are essential so families and businesses receive timely assistance when they need it most.
What projects are most important for the Legislature to focus on for the future of Texas?
Water infrastructure, transportation, flood mitigation, grid reliability, and public safety are critical. Texas must plan responsibly for growth while maintaining fiscal discipline and ensuring infrastructure investments deliver real value to taxpayers.
If elected, what do you plan to do to ensure Texans have enough water as the state continues to grow?
I will support long-term water planning, conservation, infrastructure investment, and regional cooperation. Reliable water supplies are essential for families, agriculture, and economic growth, and solutions must balance development needs with responsible stewardship.
How do you plan to involve residents in the decision-making process?
I will prioritize accessibility, transparency, and regular communication through town halls, community meetings, and constituent outreach. Listening to residents and local leaders ensures policies reflect real-world needs and strengthens trust between citizens and their representatives.
What do you see as the greatest challenge for Texas in the next five years?
Managing rapid growth, including securing reliable water sources and preserving affordability.
