Why are you running to be Galveston County Commissioner?



To create a safer and more prosperous community for my family, your family and generations to come. I feel called to serve my neighbors and to fight on behalf of taxpayers for an honest and efficient county government. One that is small and effective.



What will you bring to this office in terms of your qualifications or perspective?



I will bring a proven record leading on policy issues, crucial connections with other local leaders and a strong work ethic. As your commissioner, I am committed to working full-time at the job and being accessible to address constituent concerns.



If elected, what would your top priorities be over the coming term?<br>



My priorities are to shrink wasteful government, lower taxes, enhance public safety and invest in critical traffic and drainage infrastructure. Together we can improve our justice system, equip law enforcement and emergency services personnel with life saving tools, and harden our community against future disasters.
