White Settlement is a family oriented city with a strong sense of community. I was inspired to run by my family and other citizens of White Settlement who want to preserve our City's character and improve infrastructure.

My background has given me the ability to develop and strengthen my skills with crisis management, teamwork, conflict resolution, small business ownership, budgeting, leadership, and a passion for advocacy.

I will be honest and open with the citizens of White Settlement and hold myself and other city leadership accountable. I would also like to enhance overall community engagement. I am running so that our city continues positive activities, while addressing the tough issues in an open manner

I intend to Safeguard city services while staying within our budget and encouraging economic growth. I will fight for city services, while fixing infrastructure and promoting economic growth.

During my term I would like to keep a balanced budget, resolve water issues, increase citizen involvement, keep city on track with fixing infrastructure, and encourage economic growth. Fixing city infrastructure is of utmost importance. This will include water pipes, sewer, waste water, water tanks, streets, and potholes. The city’s leadership has started this process and I intend to see it through. Any solution will take a collaborative and open effort and l will offer a new perspective.
