Lakeway City Council

Top Issues

Taxes / Budget Pro Balanced Budget and Responsible Spending. Environment / Energy The green space in Lakeway adds to our quality of life. Let’s keep Lakeway, Lakeway and what drew us to this beautiful city. Infrastructure / Transportation Completion of Main Street is imperative, especially with the upcoming 620 expansion. I have been supportive of the buildout of Main Street and Birrell. It is imperative that these two connecter roads are built prior to the 620 Expansion Project. This will give Lakeway residents adequate access to grocery and other stores when 620 will be hard to navigate. Infrastructure / Transportation Responsible development while allowing growth is key. I am a firm believer in property rights and the right to develop one's own property, but we need to ensure new development aligns with Lakeway's charm and character. As a member of City of Lakeway's PUD and Development Agreement Committee, I have been tough on developers giving feedback on what residents will accept and what they will fight against. I listen and learn from current residents who are adjacent to proposed developments. Taxes / Budget I am fiscally conservative and against overspending. City spending should be kept to a minimum with long-term implications kept in mind. Just like our residents do, the city should live within its means. I review our yearly budget carefully and through a microscope. I am the only councilmember who voted against raising taxes the past two years while I have been on council. Economy As a small-business owner myself, I believe we are the cornerstone of our economy. Attracting small to medium businesses willing to invest in the City of Lakeway is imperative. This will generate more sales tax revenue which will maintain or lower our personal property taxes.
