Public Offices you’ve held or run for: None
Why are you Seeking Office?
After proudly serving and dedicating myself to the citizens of Tarrant County for over 30 years with the highest degree of professionalism, I would like to continue my commitment to service where I believe I could also make a positive impact . I would like to apply my years of service, experience, and knowledge to the Office of Constable.
What would your top 3 policy priorities be?
I would stop short of identifying policy priorities without first having an opportunity to access current policies from an internal standpoint. I would encourage and welcome feedback and input from current employees relating to any changes in operating procedures and policies that would benefit the office . I do believe however on the surface, policies that should always be considered and adhered to are public safety, perception, and how to maintain and continue to earn public trust. Conducting civil process in an efficient and professional manner. And lastly, be conscientious and conservative with the budget and tax payer dollars.
Why should voters choose you over your opponent(s)?
Having had the privilege to work for Tarrant County the last 30 plus years has afforded me the opportunity to have daily contact and establish rapport with numerous elected and appointed County officials. My duties allowed me the opportunity to work with most Tarrant County Municipal Courts and Police departments. During my tenure with Tarrant County Pretrial Services I authored innovative ideas and methods . I helped implement policies and procedures that made the overall operation of Pretrial Services much more efficient and cost effective. I believe that I possess a unique skill set in Court procedures and Law Enforcement.
