Why I am running for City Council.
For a safe and prosperous Denton now and in the future!
After serving this past 2 years on Denton's Chief of Police Advisory board, I believe I can speak to the importance of keeping our city, its citizens, the Police and Fire Departments safe and accountable.
I believe downtown Denton is a “hidden gem,” and I would like an economic development team to promote local small businesses and attract larger businesses to move to Denton, which would help offset rising residential property taxes.
We need a compassionate but firm hand for the homeless, with government and faith-based programs to help them. But we also need a zero-tolerance policy.
