Q&A: Meet the candidates running for Keller City Council, Place 4

Why are you running for office?

[I] want to offer both sides of the table dialogue on all aspects of developing Keller. Resident for 32-plus years and very aware of this community.

What are the biggest challenges facing the city?

Safety and taxes.

How do you plan to address these issues?

Coordinated discussions on ideal measures and ensure that all processes are as efficient as possible. Retain and pay the fire and police like they are appreciated.

What would your top priorities be if you are elected?

There is not a top priority. This is a fine community and we need to continue to be open to keeping it safe and family friendly.

Why are you running for office?

I’m running to keep Keller the kind of city families choose to call home. As a combat veteran and business owner, service and accountability guide how I lead. Keller deserves steady leadership that protects public safety, respects taxpayers and ensures growth never comes at the expense of our community.

What are the biggest challenges facing the city?

Keller’s biggest challenge is managing growth without losing the character residents value. Traffic, infrastructure and rising costs must be addressed responsibly. We must plan carefully, maintain strong police and fire services and ensure development strengthens our community rather than overwhelming it.

How do you plan to address these issues?

My focus is simple: strong public safety, responsible spending and thoughtful growth. With my background in military service and business leadership, I understand accountability and results. I will work to ensure Keller plans for the future while protecting taxpayers and preserving the quality of life residents expect.

What would your top priorities be if you are elected?

Candidate did not provide answer.

What are the biggest challenges facing the city?

Keller is experiencing continued growth, which requires thoughtful planning to protect neighborhood character, infrastructure and quality of life. Maintaining strong public safety, supporting local businesses and ensuring the city and Keller ISD remain strong partners are also important priorities for our community.

How do you plan to address these issues?

I believe in listening to residents, working collaboratively with city leadership and making decisions based on careful planning and transparency. Responsible development, support for first responders and policies that strengthen Keller’s local economy will help ensure the city continues to grow while preserving its character.

What would your top priorities be if you are elected?

My priorities include supporting police, fire and school resource officers; protecting Keller’s neighborhood character through responsible growth; strengthening local businesses that support our economy; and fostering strong collaboration between the city, residents and Keller ISD.
