Proud of my 10 year tenure and positive relationship with City Staff, the Mayor and other council members in all that we have accomplished for the citizens of Selma. I want to continue the momentum in city infrastructure and quality of life enhancements for the next 2 years.

1. Continued progress on improvements to city roads, utilities & quality of life 2. Focus on a balanced tax structure & spending to ensure continued low tax rates for our citizens 3. Proactively planning for our new Bexar County Hospital and new Judson Elementary School.
