Howdy!
It is an honor to serve as your Precinct 3 County Commissioner. I have lived, raised a family, and worked in Harris County for fifty plus years. Over the past three years, I have had the privilege to work on your behalf on Commissioners Court. To continue on this road of service, I am asking for your support as I seek a second term as your Precinct 3 Commissioner.
Whether I was on your ballot in the last election or I became your County Commissioner through redistricting, it has been my goal to serve each and every one of you. I fight for the issues you, my constituents, tell me are important which include safe neighborhoods, funding our law enforcement, mitigating flooding, and maintaining and improving our infrastructure. Using our tax dollars responsibly, with transparency and honest, is my pledge to Pct. 3.
Redistricting of the four commissioner precincts creates a Precinct 3 that makes us stronger. The challenges of a new geographic area provide great opportunities. I am proud to say that my staff and I are meeting the challenges of our precinct. We have welcomed the opportunity to become better acquainted, understand the needs of the precinct, and serve our many and varied communities.
Developing new parks, improving existing facilities and amenities, ensuring road maintenance and infrastructure improvements to prevent flooding, and working to make our neighborhoods safer are my top priorities. I want to make sure your tax dollars are spent wisely and that Precinct 3 receives the representation you deserve. That’s why during my first term I worked to help secure millions of dollars for flood mitigation and I continue to promote neighborhoods first at Commissioners Court.
It is truly an honor to serve as your Precinct 3 Commissioner. I am committed to Precinct 3 and its residents. I hope you will support me in my bid to continue working on your behalf.
SAFE NEIGHBORHOODS
INFRASTRUCTURE
YOUR TAX DOLLARS
I am a staunch advocate for law enforcement and safe neighborhoods. I’ve championed the Constables and the Sheriff’s deputies through support of the Contract Deputy Program and voted for pay raises for officers so that Harris County hires and retains those committed to protecting the county.
Working with Pct. 3 school boards and parents, I created the Harris County Safe Schools Commission that supports all 25 Independent School Districts and private schools in the county.
My dedication to making Harris County safe is why I have the endorsements of law enforcement leaders for re-election this November.
A career engineer who owned and operated an engineering firm and with over 45 years of experience, I understand infrastructure is key to a prosperous county. That’s why over $300 million dollars has been invested into Pct. 3 roads, flood prevention and community parks since I was elected in 2020, including flood control for Cypress Creek and Telge Road improvements.
Precinct commissioners are solely responsible for county roads, flood prevention and parks and recreation and their regular maintenance and updates – basics to the health and welfare of Harris County residents
Preventing the largest tax dollar grab in Harris County history is one example of my commitment to Pct. 3 residents when it comes to fiscal responsibility and preventing government fraud and waste.
Opposing fraudulent contracts appointed to one-person firms, rejecting private security for Commissioners, and calling out election inconsistencies that led to the resignation of two County Election administrators is further proof of my dedication to residents rather than consulting firms and special interests.
I aggressively fought against more bureaucracy that would consolidate county services and strip them from the precincts – where residents get the best and fastest response.
