Top Issues

Taxes / Budget Your tax dollars are not a blank check. I am committed to transparency and fiscal discipline in spending. Infrastructure / Transportation Addison’s economic development runs on connectivity. To attract businesses and workers, we need strong public transit. I will fight for reliable, DART services that link our Silver Line investments to economic growth and local mobility. Infrastructure / Transportation E should future-proof our community by upgrading aging infrastructure all while being intentional with high-density redevelopment. I will ensure Addison remains the premier destination in North Texas to live, work, and play—without losing our unique character. Criminal Justice / Public Safety Safety is non-negotiable. I will advocate for competitive pay to recruit and retain the best Police and Fire professionals while ensuring our seniors and vulnerable neighbors have the advocacy and resources they need. Infrastructure / Transportation If Addison wants to remain competitive, attract investment, and support workforce mobility, regional connectivity must remain part of our economic strategy. I fully support DART to stay in Addison not only for our business community to maintain a strong workforce pipeline, but to provide accessibility services for our vulnerable residents. Taxes / Budget She supports responsible budgeting, enforcement of short-term rental regulations, and measured oversight of extended-stay properties to preserve community standards.
