My One Promise to You

 

     It is my firm belief that elected officials and government employees are temporary placeholders—whose sole purpose is to represent you, the people, in the affairs of government.

This office is not mine. This time is not mine. And the votes I cast will never be mine alone.

​

     When elected as your Fort Bend County Precinct 4 Commissioner, I will cast every vote based on what you—the residents, families, and taxpayers of Precinct 4—have expressed is in our community's best interest. Not my personal opinion. Not the demands of private interests. And certainly not just because party leadership wants it that way.

 

When was the last time you heard a candidate say this—and truly mean it?

 

     To be completely honest: I never wanted to run for office. I'd much rather spend time with my family and focus on the businesses I've built here in Fort Bend County. Running costs me time, money, and headaches I could avoid.

But like so many of you, I've watched things get worse instead of better. Too many people have tuned out, focusing only on their own lives while our community suffers. Almost everyone I talk to agrees: we can no longer rely on our current officials to prioritize the people. Too many fail to even show up for the jobs we're paying them to do—check their attendance and voting records for proof.

​

     I'm running because I refuse to leave our children and grandchildren a broken system that puts party politics over people and community. We can—and must—disagree respectfully, debate solutions vigorously, and still treat each other with civility. Violence has no place in our free society, especially against the defenseless: our children, our elderly, and even our animals.

 

     Together, we can build a better Fort Bend County—one that works for the people, not against them. One where your voice truly matters.

​

This is my promise. I will keep it.
