Priorities

spending

Control Deficit Spending

I will fight to rein in wasteful spending and ensure every tax dollar is used wisely. I know that fiscal discipline today protects our children’s tomorrow.

  • Conduct regular audits of county departments to identify inefficiencies.
  • Implement performance-based budgeting, so funds go to programs that deliver measurable results.
  • Push for transparency dashboards so taxpayers can see exactly where money is going.
safety

Public Safety

Safe neighborhoods are the foundation of strong communities. I will support law enforcement, first responders, and community programs that keep families secure.

  • Increase collaboration between county law enforcement and local community watch groups.
  • Advocate for modern equipment and training for first responders.
  • Support youth outreach programs to build trust and prevent crime before it starts.
flood mitigation

Flood Mitigation

Fort Bend County has faced devastating floods. I will champion proactive flood control measures, infrastructure upgrades, and partnerships that protect homes and businesses.

  • Resume flood mitigation projects recommended by the Project Brazos Study.
  • Create close partnerships with local MUDs, LIDs, and HOAs to understand unique drainage challenges.
  • Secure state and federal grants for flood control projects.
  • Invest in smarter stormwater infrastructure and early-warning systems.
infrastructure

Responsible Infrastructure Improvements

Growth is inevitable, but it must be managed responsibly. I will prioritize infrastructure projects that serve citizens without burdening taxpayers, ensuring roads, bridges, and utilities meet long-term needs.

  • Establish a citizen advisory board to review major infrastructure proposals.
  • Require cost-benefit analyses before approving new projects.
  • Focus on long-term planning to prevent costly “band-aid” fixes.
taxes

Maintain Low Tax Rate

Families and businesses thrive when taxes are kept low. I will defend conservative fiscal policies that keep Fort Bend affordable and competitive.

  • Cap county spending growth to match population growth.
  • Oppose unnecessary tax increases and push for efficiency instead.
  • Explore public-private partnerships to fund improvements without raising taxes.
budget

Balancing the County Budget

As a financial expert, I know how to balance the budget. I will bring accountability and transparency to county finances, ensuring budgets are balanced without raising taxes.

  • Introduce zero-based budgeting, requiring departments to justify every dollar each year.
  • Publish quarterly budget reports for public review.
  • Build a rainy-day reserve fund to protect against economic downturns.
