Dear Friends,

Thank you for visiting my website.

I’ve been humbled by the support I’ve received since I announced my intention to run for City Council District J several weeks ago. As we get closer to the election I will continue to share more information about myself and about my vision for improving the lives of folks living in Southwest Houston.

I am excited about the future of Southwest Houston, but I recognize we face real challenges.

The City of Houston completed the process of redistricting the Citys single member districts in May. Sharpstown, Gulfton, Braeburn Glen, as well as Braeburn Valley North and West and surrounding neighborhoods have been designated as the new District J. Much has and will be said about District J being a new opportunity district. I could not agree more. Anyone who lives in District J knows that a battle to save our neighborhoods is being waged. I’ve been on the front lines of that fight for many years. I believe a prosperous future for the citizens of Southwest Houston depends on our ability to protect our neighborhoods from decay. Put plainly, I believe we need to build more baseball and soccer fields rather than discos./p>

Our neighborhoods should be sanctuaries for our children to play. I envision a Southwest Houston where parents feel comfortable allowing their children to play outside; a place where our seniors feel comfortable taking a stroll at dusk.

I hope you’ll join me in this fight to protect our neighborhoods. The future of District J is at stake. We can choose to invest in playgrounds, policemen, and graffiti removal. Or we can fail to do these things and see our neighborhoods continue to decay.

The choice is clear. I’ve staked my campaign on the premise that Southwest Houston can be a great place to live, raise a family, and retire. I hope you’ll join me in this fight.

Best wishes,

Please send me an e-mail with your thoughts. I would love to have your ideas about how to save our neighborhoods.
