Why are you running for office?
SF: I am passionate about community service and made this a top priority since retiring from General Motors five years ago. I currently serve as the president of the Trophy Club Municipal Utility District, [a] board member of the Texas Property and Casualty Insurance Guaranty Association, an active member in Rotary and [am] former president of the Canterbury Hills [Homeowners Association]. I have seen the positive impact that servant leadership can have on a community.
What are the biggest challenges facing the residents of Trophy Club?
SF: Trophy Club is a community that is nearly built out with just a few residential and commercial properties left to complete. The transition needs to now focus on supporting local business, maintaining our outstanding safety record and supporting our police and fire operations. Trophy Club is fortunate to have an outstanding school system and continues to require the full support of the town council.
If elected, what would be your top priorities?
SF: I have four top priorities: 1. Strengthen and support small businesses within Trophy Club. 2. Continue to expand and grow the working relationship with the municipal utility district (MUD 1). 3. Develop [a] long-term infrastructure plan. 4. Promote town council transparency in everything we do.
What are some new ideas or programs you would like the Trophy Club Town Council to explore?
SF: The town of Trophy Club should continue to promote our motto: Trophy Club, A Great Place To Live. The Trophy Club Golf Club is one of the prized jewels in the community with two 18-hole golf courses, excellent tennis facilities and both fine dining and the casual atmosphere of Hogan's pub. We should be promoting this town's assets in everything we do, including social media, local publications and town events. Take pride in our great community and continue to spread the word about our local businesses, great restaurants and community activities.
