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.
Delivering Safe, Reliable Infrastructure for Every Neighborhood
Infrastructure is more than concrete and pipes; it’s the foundation of everyday safety and economic opportunity. In a rapidly growing county, responsible stewardship of roads, drainage, and public facilities ensures families can get to work, children can travel to school safely, and local businesses can thrive. A committed Commissioner precinct 4 understands that prioritizing projects must be data-driven, transparent, and responsive to residents’ lived experience.
That means using floodplain and traffic data to schedule repairs and improvements where they’ll prevent harm, not just where they’re most visible. It means coordinating with municipalities and state agencies to align timelines and secure matching funds so Precinct 4 gets its fair share of investments. It also means adopting a maintenance-first mindset—regular resurfacing, timely pothole repair, and proactive drainage system cleaning reduce long-term costs and protect property values.
Real-world planning must include neighborhood input: listening sessions, clear project timelines, and simple online tools that show progress so residents know when to expect work and how it will reduce risk. When an intersection is repeatedly the site of accidents, a data-informed redesign—improved signage, better lighting, and targeted lane adjustments—can dramatically reduce incidents. Likewise, stormwater investments that combine engineered retention basins with community green-space improvements protect homes while enhancing quality of life.
Accountability is essential: published project lists, cost breakdowns, and measurable outcomes prevent projects from stalling and ensure taxpayer dollars are spent wisely. A Commissioner with a background in law and community advocacy brings the negotiation skills, regulatory knowledge, and civic focus needed to deliver infrastructure projects that are equitable and effective for every resident in the precinct.
Making County Services and Healthcare Accessible to All
Access to healthcare and essential county services shapes long-term outcomes for families—physical health, workforce participation, and educational success all depend on it. Fort Bend County must prioritize access by expanding clinic hours, supporting mobile health units, and partnering with community health providers to reach underserved neighborhoods. A Commissioner who has worked directly with clients knows the real barriers people face: transportation gaps, limited clinic hours, and the complexity of enrolling in programs.
Practical solutions start with mapping service deserts and targeting outreach where need is highest. Increasing support for telehealth infrastructure, subsidizing community transportation to medical appointments, and streamlining eligibility processes for county programs reduce friction for residents who are already juggling work and family responsibilities. County public health campaigns can use multilingual materials and trusted local partners—churches, schools, and neighborhood associations—to ensure messaging reaches diverse communities.
Beyond healthcare, county services like emergency response, social services, and senior programs must be coordinated and customer-focused. Improving 311 systems, expanding online appointment scheduling, and creating clear pathways for navigating county departments reduce delays and frustration. Case studies from other growing counties show that when services are centralized around the customer experience—simple forms, single points of contact, and follow-up—participation rises and outcomes improve.
Policy choices should be informed by measurable goals: reduced wait times, increased clinic visits in previously underserved areas, and documented improvements in emergency response times. Combining a compassionate approach with legal expertise helps create systems that protect vulnerable residents while maximizing limited resources, ensuring that county programs deliver tangible benefits for families across Precinct 4.
Equitable Leadership, Community Partnerships, and Real Accountability
Equity should be the guiding principle for county governance: homes that flood, roads that go unrepaired, or clinics that are difficult to reach often track to disparities in income and historic disinvestment. Building a fairer Precinct 4 requires a Commissioner who will listen to every neighborhood, treat concerns with urgency, and develop partnerships that match community needs to sustainable solutions. That leadership is rooted in experience advocating for clients and working with local nonprofits to get results.
Effective partnerships include collaborating with school districts to address safe routes for students, working with housing advocates to protect homeowners from displacement, and convening business leaders to ensure economic development lifts all corners of the precinct. Pilot programs—such as community-based flood mitigation projects or pop-up health clinics—allow the county to test approaches, measure outcomes, and scale successful efforts.
Transparency and public accountability are non-negotiable. Regular town halls, published performance metrics, and independent audits of major projects create the trust necessary for sustained progress. Voters deserve leaders who put people before politics, who can explain budget trade-offs in plain language, and who follow through on promises with documented results.
