My Key Issues
Economic Development
Supporting entrepreneurship and small businesses is a top priority for me because local businesses help shape Keller’s identity, create jobs, and keep our community strong. My focus is on making Keller a city where small businesses can start, grow, and stay — with clear processes, practical support, and better visibility of existing resources. That includes strengthening our approach to small business attraction and retention, improving communication around programs and opportunities, and keeping Old Town Keller a thriving place where local entrepreneurs can succeed.
Urban planning and smart growth
Supporting urban revitalization and redevelopment means investing in the parts of Keller that already have strong bones — like Old Town — reducing barriers for the right local businesses, and encouraging projects that strengthen property values and long-term quality of life. Done well, revitalization preserves Keller’s character while creating vibrant places where residents can gather and small businesses can thrive.
Government Transparency
Utilizing technology for improved government services means making it easier for residents and businesses to get answers, complete requests, and stay informed—without unnecessary steps or confusion. My focus is on practical upgrades that improve speed, transparency, and communication: clearer online information, simpler permitting and application processes, better status updates for service requests, and modern tools that help the City respond efficiently. The goal is a city experience that feels user-friendly, consistent, and accessible for everyone.
