Why are you running for office?
With the 8 years of experience as a council member, including 3 as Mayor Pro Tem I’m best qualified. I also believe that both my professional and academic background will serve Argyle best. Most important it’s the trust that I have built over these years with my colleagues and citizens.
What are the biggest challenges facing Argyle?
Creating a unified vision for Argyle’s future. Roads and traffic. Finalizing the already planned commercial along Hwy I-35, and other major roadways and continue to attract the most desirable commercial. Capital improvements like road repairs and new police department and staffing to best serve the citizens. Strategic relationship with Argyle ISD.
How do you plan to address these issues?
Unifying all of Argyle in a common vision and providing leadership and institutional knowledge to the 5 voting members and staff. Creating a long-term financial and capital improvements plan. Working with staff and council to develop the most effective staff structure. Transparent and effective leadership and open communication with citizens.
What would your top priorities be if you are elected?
Finalizing the commercial development currently being planned. Planning of the new police station so it can move forward. Develop a staffing structure to best serve Argyle. Create a long-term financial outlook to help the town plan. Traffic, roads and drainage. Never forget who elected me and who I serve.
