My Bio

Galveston resident for 12 years. I am active in local advocacy to improve the quality of living for residents across Texas City, La Marque, and parts of Dickinson and Hitchcock.

I serve as the Board Secretary of Galveston County Drainage District 2, and I approach this role with a simple, practical focus: reliable drainage maintenance and transparent, accountable district operations. Drainage may not always be visible on a daily basis, but when storms arrive, every resident feels the difference between a district that stays on top of routine work and one that reacts after problems grow. That’s why my top priority is consistent ditch maintenance—regular inspection, cleaning, and follow-through—so water can move where it’s supposed to and we reduce avoidable flooding risks.

I believe the district should operate with clear priorities and a maintenance plan that residents can understand. That means emphasizing prevention: identifying trouble spots early, keeping ditches and outfalls clear, tracking recurring issues, and making sure maintenance isn’t delayed until it becomes an emergency. I support measurable scheduling and reporting—so we can point to what was done, where it was done, and what the next steps are. My goal is a district that residents can evaluate based on visible work in the field and documented results over time.

Just as important, I believe in full transparency and open government. Taxpayer dollars and public decisions deserve public accountability. I support clear, organized meeting materials, complete and accurate documentation of board actions, and straightforward access to budgets, contracts, and spending information. Residents should not have to guess how decisions are made or where district funds are going. When information is easy to find and records are well kept, trust grows—and the district is stronger for it.
