Fair, Honest & Open Government

Budget shortfalls and overspending cannot be an acceptable manner of doing business. I will hold those accountable who mishandle and misuse our money. (A prime example of this is the Red, White, Bayou festival budgeted cost overrun).

Retaliating against our police officers will not be an acceptable method of running an efficient and effective government.

We need a mayor that is willing to listen and balance the needs of every city employee, citizen, culture, and background.

I will insist that all members of the council have an equal voice for matters of public interest to be placed on our agendas for consideration.

I will oppose any effort for the city to take over our Dickinson Chamber of Commerce or any other like kind private organization.

We do not need bigger government.

I will apply my experience to evaluate and consider our needs for continuous improvement to our streets and drainage issues.

I will always look ahead to ensure sufficient city services will be available to support and facilitate growth.

I will be approachable and responsive to the needs of the citizens and businesses already established here, and those considering making Dickinson their next home or place of business.

I will ensure our emergency services departments and personnel receive the funding and resources necessary to keep the citizens of Dickinson safe.

I will insist that positions on our citizen boards are filled by citizens rather than council members.

I will make the most of every opportunity that gives the City of Dickinson a chance to be a showcase city.

I am asking for your support and would be honored if you allowed me to serve you, as your next City Council, Position 6, member.
