Nearly 4 years ago, our great city elected me to be the Ward 3 City Council member. When I campaigned, I promised to do everything in my ability to improve our roads, keep taxes as low as I could, see growth, and do what I believe is right for our city. I have learned a ton in the past 4 years. I learned that the council must work together and with our amazing county officials to achieve our goals. I've learned that our people are some of the most passionate people I've ever met. And I've learned that progress requires dedication and team work.

Along with those lessons, we have seen a lot of success. We have seen improvements made to several roadways, including Orange Street. We have welcomed multiple new businesses, and we have kept our tax rate either the same or lower every year for the past 4 years. Thanks to our Mayor and County representatives, we have been able to see the development of new playgrounds for our children and pickle ball courts in our city. We have also seen the development of a new Point of Distribution facility that will be a vital resource in the event of an emergency.

This is the type of progress I want to see continue in Vidor. For that reason I am announcing my candidacy for another term as Vidor City Council Member for Ward 3. If elected, I will work with our team of Council members, Mayor, and County officials to ensure we can continue this progress.
