It's time.

We need commissioners who listen, are leaders & team players and can get things done.  Commissioners who put you first.  I’ll be that commissioner for you.  My platform is simple; safe neighborhoods, good roads, low taxes.  For over a year now, we’ve been listening to our friends and neighbors and discussing their ideas about improving County Government.  From taking care of County employees to finding creative ways to fund road & bridge maintenance to keeping the tax rate low, we’ve listened to your ideas and incorporated them into our platform.  I have heard you and I will keep listening to you throughout the campaign and while I serve as your Commissioner.  Tom Green County is a special place.  You’ve chosen to make it your home.  With your help, I’ll work to keep it special and make it even better. 

Running for County Commissioner was not my idea.  About five years ago, Kevin Housley was running for State Representative and asked me to manage his campaign.  Kevin and I were serving on the Christoval ISD school board at the time.  I agreed and he promptly signed both of us up for the Texas Farm Bureau campaign school in Austin.  During that school, Kevin decided I had the right experience and background and suggested I run for County Commissioner.  We discussed the idea with family and friends and the idea stuck.  Sheryl & I waited until the kids were grown and on their own and decided this was the right time.  The rest is history. 

I’m excited about the campaign, the team, and the opportunity to serve the people of Tom Green County again.  Thanks so much for your support and encouragement.  We’ll see you on the campaign trail!
