As your City Coun­cil­man for Grand Prairie’s 5th Dis­trict,
I have had the priv­i­lege of rep­re­sent­ing you, my neigh­bors, and work­ing to make our town a bet­ter place to live,work and raise our families.

My visions for the future include:
• Con­tin­u­ing the Rede­vel­op­ment of Down­town Grand Prairie.
• Pro­grams and Con­certs at the Uptown The­ater.
• Keep­ing the prop­erty tax rate steady. No prop­erty tax rate increases.
• Safe, clean neigh­bor­hoods for every­one.
• Upgrad­ing busi­nesses and mak­ing Grand Prairie the most vital, vibrant des­ti­na­tion area in Dal­las County.

I am ded­i­cated to:
• Mak­ing and keep­ing streets, side­walks and alleys well main­tained and free from pot­holes and cracks.
• Mak­ing and keep­ing our streets, busi­nesses and homes safe, through neigh­bor­hood polic­ing, crime watch pro­grams, reg­u­lar updates from neigh­bor­hood beat offi­cers, and sim­pli­fied, easy crime report­ing.
• Improved and more effi­cient code enforce­ment, short­en­ing the time a code vio­la­tion is allowed to con­tinue. Mak­ing code vio­la­tions reportable and anony­mous if desired.
• Mak­ing Oncor live up to its con­tract to KEEP THE STREET LIGHTS ON!

I will con­tinue to work with the GPISD Board and Super­in­ten­dant to improve the edu­ca­tional oppor­tu­ni­ties for our kids and grand­kids. I will NOT vote for a prop­erty tax increase, and I have NEVER voted for a fran­chised util­ity (electric/gas/cable) rate increase.

I real­ize that I work for you, to rep­re­sent your needs and ideas on the Grand Prairie City Coun­cil. I will always be acces­si­ble to you and inter­ested in your com­ments and con­cerns for a bet­ter Grand Prairie. I appre­ci­ate and thank you for your support.
