Priorities

Priority 1 – Public Safety

Everything else on this list depends on this one. A city where residents don’t feel safe in their homes, on their streets, or at community events has failed at its most basic responsibility.

Public safety funding must be protected. That means adequate staffing for police and fire, equipment that works, and response times that reflect a serious commitment to this community. I will not vote to underfund public safety to cover budget shortfalls created by poor spending decisions elsewhere.

It’s not complicated. It’s just a matter of priorities.

Priority 2 – Keep Taxes Low. Root Out Waste

I’m a CPA. This is what I do.

Frisco residents — especially those of us on fixed incomes — need a city government that treats every tax dollar with respect. That means no vanity projects. No inflated contracts. No spending that looks good in a press release but doesn’t hold up to scrutiny.

I will push for full transparency in how the city budgets and spends public money. I’ll ask the questions that don’t always get asked. And I will vote against any measure that raises the tax burden on residents without a clear, documented justification tied to a genuine public need.

Low taxes aren’t an accident. They’re the result of discipline. I’ve got plenty of it.

Priority 3 – Senior Advisory Board

Frisco has a significant and growing senior population. We contribute to this city’s tax base, its civic life, and its character. And too often, decisions that directly affect seniors — from infrastructure to transit to development patterns — get made without any meaningful input from the people most affected.

I will work to establish a formal Senior Advisory Board that gives older residents an official, structured voice in city decisions. Not a token committee. An actual board with real access to city council deliberations on issues that affect senior residents.

We’ve earned a seat at the table. It’s time to build one.

The Bigger Vision – Brain City USA

Beyond the three priorities above, I’m committed to positioning Frisco for the next 20 years — not just the next election cycle.

The idea is straightforward: work with regional public and private partners to develop Frisco as a hub for emerging technology, medical research, higher education, and venture capital. Think regionally, act locally.

The cities that thrive in the next two decades won’t be the ones that hosted the most sporting events. They’ll be the ones that attracted the right talent, institutions, and investment to build a knowledge economy. Frisco has the land, the demographics, and the location to compete for that future. But it takes intentional strategy — not reactive development.

I want to pursue a nationally recognized technology authority to advise on Frisco’s transformation — someone with real credibility who can help us get this right. That conversation starts on day one.
