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.

A Record of Community Service and Legal Advocacy
The path from courtroom to county administration is grounded in deep, practical experience. As an attorney, working on behalf of individuals and families taught how policy choices ripple through daily life—how a permit delay can stall a home repair, how inadequate drainage planning can flood a lifetime of memories, and how complicated healthcare systems can prevent someone from getting timely care. That legal background translates directly into the kind of thoughtful, accountable leadership needed for a county official.
Community advocacy is more than volunteering at events; it means building relationships across neighborhoods, civic groups, and local institutions to solve problems before they become crises. Throughout career, collaboration with nonprofits, school groups, and neighborhood associations produced measurable results: safer crossings near schools, expanded outreach for preventive health services, and mediation that kept families in their homes. Those outcomes demonstrate that an effective Commissioner combines legal knowledge with boots-on-the-ground problem solving.
Accountability and transparency are central to this work. When constituents know how decisions are made and have real avenues to participate, government becomes an engine for opportunity rather than an obstacle. That emphasis on clear communication and measurable results informs every policy proposal—whether negotiating county budgets, prioritizing capital projects, or reforming permitting processes. A commissioner with a background in law and advocacy brings both the technical skills and the moral compass necessary to represent Precinct 4 families fairly and effectively.
Priorities for Precinct 4: Roads, Drainage, and Public Safety
Rapid growth in Fort Bend County demands a focused strategy to ensure infrastructure keeps pace. One of the most urgent responsibilities a county official holds is maintaining and improving local roads. Families depend on safe, well-maintained streets for school commutes, access to jobs, and emergency response. Underfunded or deferred road projects place lives at risk and reduce property values. Practical solutions include a prioritized capital improvements plan, targeted use of county bond funds, and partnerships with state and municipal authorities to maximize every dollar.
Drainage is another critical issue for Precinct 4. Recurrent flooding is not merely an inconvenience; it destroys possessions, threatens health, and drives up insurance costs. Effective drainage policy combines smart investments—like upgraded culverts, detention basins, and green infrastructure—with enforcement of sensible development standards so new construction does not worsen neighborhood vulnerability. Engaging engineers, environmental experts, and residents in planning ensures projects address root causes rather than temporary fixes.
Public safety connects to both roads and drainage. Faster emergency response times depend on reliable road access and clear evacuation routes. Investing in first responders, modernizing county dispatch systems, and maintaining safe intersections are practical, measurable priorities. Fiscal responsibility means balancing these investments with a commitment to keep government efficient and responsive. Residents of Precinct 4 deserve a leader who will fight for the infrastructure that protects their families while stewarding county resources for maximum impact.
Health, Equity, and Access: Expanding County Services for Every Neighborhood
Access to healthcare and equitable county services are central to long-term community resilience. When families can get preventive care, mental health support, and reliable maternal services close to home, the entire community benefits through higher productivity, lower emergency costs, and stronger schools. Policy solutions include expanding mobile health clinics, strengthening partnerships with community health providers, and advocating for county-funded services that fill critical gaps in underserved areas.
Equity must be baked into every policy decision. That means analyzing budget impacts by neighborhood, prioritizing projects that serve the most vulnerable, and ensuring language access and outreach to immigrant communities. A county leader can drive equity by establishing clear metrics for service delivery and by creating accessible channels for residents to report needs and track progress. Real-world examples show that targeted investment, such as community-based vaccination drives or school-linked mental health programs, produces measurable improvements in health outcomes and community trust.
Economic opportunity and health are deeply connected. Supporting small businesses, improving transit connections, and expanding workforce training directly influence household stability and access to care. A forward-looking commissioner will leverage county resources to create healthier, more prosperous neighborhoods—ensuring that every resident of Precinct 4 has the tools and services they need to thrive.
