Previous elected office(s) sought or held: Served on Keller City Council since 2020<\/p>\n

What are your qualifications to serve in this office?\u00a0<\/p>\n

Our record of serving Keller. We have a 6-year record of delivering on our promises to residents.\u00a0<\/p>\n

What are your top three priorities, if elected? Briefly describe how you would approach each.<\/p>\n

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.<\/p>\n

What are your budget priorities, and why?\u00a0<\/p>\n

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.<\/p>\n

This is also exactly why we took historic measures to actually reduce the city\u2019s 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\u2019s history by setting the homestead exemption at 20%.<\/p>\n

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.<\/p>\n

How would you approach engaging with constituents while in office, if elected?\u00a0<\/p>\n

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.<\/p>\n

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 \u2014 we should expect excellence for our community. Serving Keller is a unique privilege and we couldn\u2019t be more excited about our work ahead.<\/p>\n

Who are your top five campaign donors?\u00a0<\/p>\n

Keller firefighters and Keller families are my top donors. You can see all donors here: https:\/\/www.cityofkeller.com\/services\/semi-annual-campaign-finance-reports<\/a><\/p>\n

Have you ever filed for bankruptcy? If so, when?\u00a0<\/p>\n

No.<\/p>\n

Have you ever been convicted of a crime, in Texas or another state? If so, what crime and when?\u00a0<\/p>\n

No.<\/p>\n
