I was taught early in life that public service isn’t a title—it’s a responsibility. Growing up in a working-class family, I watched my parents and grandparents work long hours, volunteer in our community, and show up for neighbors in times of need. That example shaped my career in law and community advocacy, and it’s the same example that drives my campaign for Fort Bend County Commissioner, Precinct 4.
As an attorney and community advocate, I’ve seen firsthand how decisions about roads, drainage, healthcare, and county services can open doors for families—or leave them behind. From helping clients navigate complex systems to working with local organizations, I’ve built a reputation for listening carefully, fighting hard, and treating everyone with dignity, regardless of race, income, or ZIP code.
Precinct 4 families are doing everything right—working hard, raising kids, paying taxes—yet too often they’re stuck with unsafe roads, neighborhoods that flood, healthcare that’s hard to access, and services that don’t keep up with growth. I’m running for Commissioner to change that, so county government stays focused on what really matters: keeping people safe, protecting homes, expanding healthcare access, and making sure every neighborhood has a fair shot.

Prioritizing Infrastructure and Public Safety for Real Results
Infrastructure is the backbone of daily life in Precinct 4. Safe roads, reliable drainage, and well-maintained public spaces determine whether families can get to work, whether children can play outside without risk, and whether property values hold steady. An effective county leader prioritizes projects that produce measurable improvements while ensuring taxpayer dollars are spent efficiently. That means targeted paving programs, coordinated drainage repairs, and an evidence-based approach to prioritizing intersections and corridors that currently generate the most accidents and complaints.
Addressing drainage and flooding must be both proactive and community-driven. Small, well-planned drainage improvements made upstream can prevent repeated damage downstream; routine maintenance of ditches and culverts often avoids expensive emergency repairs later. A committed Commissioner will push for consistent inspection schedules, transparent reporting, and partnerships with municipal and state agencies to secure funding. That combination of practical management and aggressive pursuit of grants and intergovernmental aid ensures that neighborhoods long overlooked finally get the attention they deserve.
Public safety goes hand-in-hand with infrastructure. Better lighting, sidewalk repairs, and traffic-calming measures reduce crashes and improve walkability. For Precinct 4, the goal is not simply to propose big projects, but to implement a pipeline of improvements that residents see in their streets and schools. Emphasizing data-driven decisions, community input, and accountability—using clear timelines and public updates—creates trust and delivers outcomes that protect families and strengthen neighborhoods.
Expanding Healthcare Access, Community Services, and Grassroots Solutions
Access to healthcare and county services remains a top concern for many Precinct 4 families. Long wait times, limited clinic hours, transportation barriers, and confusion around enrollment in programs all make it harder for residents to stay healthy and productive. A Commissioner focused on results will work to expand community-based options: mobile clinics, flexible hours at county health centers, and partnerships with nonprofit providers to reach families where they live and work. These practical measures close gaps without waiting for large systemic changes that can take years.
Community engagement is critical to making these solutions stick. Regular listening sessions, pop-up enrollment events, and partnerships with faith-based and neighborhood organizations build trust and make services accessible. For example, coordinating a county mobile clinic visit with a community center’s after-school program can boost pediatric care uptake and connect parents with vital resources. These are the kinds of locally tailored approaches that reduce barriers and increase long-term community health.
One effective model is to combine legal advocacy with service delivery: using community law practices to help residents navigate housing or benefits issues that directly affect health outcomes. When families understand their rights and can resolve bureaucratic hurdles faster, they experience better stability and fewer crises. That approach—representing residents while strengthening county systems—creates a durable foundation for healthier, safer neighborhoods. As Precinct 4 grows, prioritizing flexible, community-centered health and service strategies will be essential to ensuring every resident has a fair shot at opportunity and well-being.
