I was taught early in life that public service isn’t a title—it’s a responsibility. Growing up in a working-class family, I watched my parents and grandparents work long hours, volunteer in our community, and show up for neighbors in times of need. That example shaped my career in law and community advocacy, and it’s the same example that drives my campaign for Fort Bend County Commissioner, Precinct 4.
As an attorney and community advocate, I’ve seen firsthand how decisions about roads, drainage, healthcare, and county services can open doors for families—or leave them behind. From helping clients navigate complex systems to working with local organizations, I’ve built a reputation for listening carefully, fighting hard, and treating everyone with dignity, regardless of race, income, or ZIP code.
Precinct 4 families are doing everything right—working hard, raising kids, paying taxes—yet too often they’re stuck with unsafe roads, neighborhoods that flood, healthcare that’s hard to access, and services that don’t keep up with growth. I’m running for Commissioner to change that, so county government stays focused on what really matters: keeping people safe, protecting homes, expanding healthcare access, and making sure every neighborhood has a fair shot.
Clear Priorities for Safer Roads, Better Drainage, and Stronger Neighborhoods
Too many residents in Precinct 4 live with the constant anxiety that a heavy rain or a daily commute could become a crisis. The county’s role in maintaining infrastructure is practical and powerful: safe roads reduce accidents and emergency response times, while effective drainage protects homes and property values. My approach centers on data-driven investments that prioritize the most vulnerable streets and subdivisions without delay.
Road maintenance plans must be transparent, accountable, and tied to measurable outcomes. That means establishing clear timelines for resurfacing, pothole repair, and safety improvements like sidewalks and lighting. It also means coordinating with municipal partners so projects don’t fall into a gap between city and county responsibilities. Residents deserve a straightforward system where requests are tracked and status updates are public.
Flood mitigation requires both short-term fixes and long-term planning. We need strategic upgrades to drains and culverts, buyout options for flood-prone properties when appropriate, and incentives for green infrastructure that can reduce runoff. By combining engineering expertise with community input, the county can reduce the frequency and severity of flooding events while protecting taxpayers from repeated emergency repairs.
Finally, neighborhood safety is more than asphalt and pipes—it’s about investing in parks, lighting, and programs that keep neighborhoods vibrant and secure. Prioritizing preventive measures and community-based solutions reduces long-term costs and fosters the kind of civic pride that helps residents stay engaged and informed.
Experience in the Trenches: Legal Advocacy, Community Partnerships, and Real Results
My background as an attorney gave me more than courtroom experience; it taught me how to navigate systems on behalf of people who need clarity and fairness. Whether helping a neighbor secure healthcare access, advocating for fair housing solutions, or partnering with local nonprofits to deliver services, I’ve focused on practical problem solving and measurable outcomes.
One real-world example involved working with a neighborhood association to address chronic drainage problems that left basements flooded after storms. By coordinating engineers, county staff, and impacted homeowners, we secured a phased remediation plan that combined improved detention basins with targeted street-level repairs. The result was fewer flood incidents, lower homeowner repair costs, and a template the county could use in other neighborhoods.
Another case involved guiding small business owners through county permitting and licensing hurdles. Streamlining that process led to faster approvals and a noticeable uptick in local commerce. These are the kinds of hands-on wins that inform how a Commissioner precinct 4 should operate—by reducing red tape and making government work for residents, not against them.
Community partnerships are central to sustainable progress. I have worked with health providers to expand mobile clinics, with schools to improve after-school safety, and with volunteer organizations to deliver emergency relief during storms. Those collaborations demonstrate that effective leadership combines policy knowledge with the humility to listen and the persistence to implement lasting solutions.

Policy Solutions: Expanding Healthcare Access, Efficient Services, and Equitable Growth
Access to healthcare was a primary concern long before the pandemic exposed systemic weaknesses. For Precinct 4, expanding access means supporting local clinics, encouraging telehealth options, and coordinating county health services with community organizations to reach underserved neighborhoods. Preventive care reduces emergency room visits and keeps families healthier and more productive.
County services must be efficient and equitable. That starts with a budget that reflects precinct priorities and invests in maintenance, emergency preparedness, and customer-focused improvements. I propose a regular performance audit process so residents can see where funds are spent and what outcomes are achieved. When performance is transparent, elected officials are accountable and the public wins.
Growth in Fort Bend County is inevitable, but it should be managed to protect existing communities. Smart growth policies include preserving green space, aligning new development with infrastructure capacity, and requiring developers to contribute to drainage and road improvements that serve their projects. These policies prevent future burdens on taxpayers and protect home values.
Equity must be front and center: residents across ZIP codes should receive fair treatment in service delivery and project prioritization. That means using data to identify underserved areas, soliciting input from diverse communities, and tailoring solutions to local needs. When county government commits to equity, safety, and practical service delivery, every family in Precinct 4 benefits.
