Why are you running for office?
To continue serving the community I love and to keep Trophy Club a "Great Place to Call Home.”
What are some of the biggest challenges facing Trophy Club?
I think the two biggest challenges are: (1) How do we keep the high service levels our residents expect as costs rise with no new homeowners to add to the tax base? (2) Does it make economic sense for the town to absorb the municipal utility district?
If you are elected, what can residents expect from you?
To continue placing the needs of the residents first, as I have for the past eight years, and fully support our public safety and health policies that have earned us being named the #1 safest town in Texas and our [Insurance Services Office] 1 fire rating. The last town survey showed 92% of our residents were positive about the level of service that the town provides, and I would work to maintain and enhance that sentiment.
