Previous elected office(s) sought or held: Served on Keller City Council since 2020

What are your qualifications to serve in this office? 

Our record of serving Keller. We have a 6-year record of delivering on our promises to residents. 

What are your top three priorities, if elected? Briefly describe how you would approach each.

My top three priorities if elected are protecting taxpayers through fiscally conservative budgets and continued property tax relief; funding critical infrastructure like streets, sidewalks, parks and trails; and supporting police officers and firefighters with competitive pay and equipment. I would approach each by championing pro-taxpayer reforms at all levels, prioritizing spending on core services, all while delivering projects on time with resident input.

What are your budget priorities, and why? 

While other government entities and politicians have collected more of your tax dollars on a year-to-year basis, we took on the fight of reforming the Tarrant Appraisal District. We know what every homeowner understands: Our property tax system is broken and in need of reform.

This is also exactly why we took historic measures to actually reduce the city’s portion of your property tax bill. And during my first year on Keller City Council, I championed the single-largest property tax cut effort in Keller’s history by setting the homestead exemption at 20%.

At the city level, we must continue to set the example by adopting fiscally conservative budgets. As mayor, I will continue my efforts to champion pro-taxpayer policies at every level.

How would you approach engaging with constituents while in office, if elected? 

On the issues that matter most to our residents, I am so proud to say that we have delivered on our campaign promises every single step of the way.

Taking Keller to the next level is an exciting challenge. It will require a mayor who is well prepared, with a laser-focus on policy and results. From streets and public safety to youth sports and our system of trails — we should expect excellence for our community. Serving Keller is a unique privilege and we couldn’t be more excited about our work ahead.

Who are your top five campaign donors?

Have you ever been convicted of a crime, in Texas or another state? If so, what crime and when?
