Friendswood City Council - Position 5

Top Issues

Criminal Justice / Public Safety Maintaining our status as one of the "Safest Cities in America" is paramount in the work we do in our community. Taxes / Budget I believe we should be fiscally responsible, planning not just for today, but also for tomorrow for those that come after us. Criminal Justice / Public Safety From supporting our valued emergency services and first responders, to continuing to be a champion for safe sidewalk access for our children, I'm here to work for all of our citizens. Environment / Energy Including efforts to improve historic tree preservation, pushing to remove visual clutter along our roadways, and planning for how to best use our open spaces, I believe that by working together we find the best solutions to strengthen and improve our community.
