Houston City Council - District C

Top Issues

Economy District C sits at the center of Houston’s innovation economy, home to thriving small businesses, world-class institutions, and neighborhoods that drive the city forward. I support thoughtful growth that strengthens local businesses, supports innovation and job creation, respects neighborhood identity, and ensures growth benefits existing residents. Infrastructure / Transportation On City Council, I will prioritize flood mitigation projects that provide measurable protection, transparency in stormwater funding, coordination with county and federal partners, and long-term resilience planning that protects homes and families. Government Reform District C residents expect transparency, responsiveness, and responsible stewardship of public funds. I will prioritize clear communication with residents, strong oversight of city departments, and collaboration to ensure commitments are honored and services are delivered efficiently. Infrastructure / Transportation Residents deserve safe and accessible streets whether they are walking, biking, driving, or using transit. I support data-driven street safety improvements that reduce traffic injuries and fatalities, improve pedestrian and cyclist safety, and ensure infrastructure investments are targeted where they are needed most. Criminal Justice / Public Safety Public safety is foundational to a thriving district. Residents deserve to feel safe in their homes, on their streets, and in shared public spaces. Public safety requires coordination across city departments, attention to infrastructure like lighting and street design, and prevention strategies that reduce harm and support families and neighborhoods. I will focus on practical, community-centered solutions that strengthen safety while preserving neighborhood character.
