Growth is inevitable. Smart growth is inspired.

As Mayor, I stand committed to initiatives which control how our community grows and changes. In order to assure what’s best for current residents, special and careful consideration must be given to any multi-family developments, large commercial institutions, and package liquor stores, where legally possible. As Mayor, the efforts I undertook as Councilmember to direct us into sustainable, smart growth will continue to ensure that these developments are not a burden to our current citizens.

Under the City’s new leadership, a renewed and reinvigorated focus on Economic Development has taken us to new heights. With this in mind, I am prepared to work closely with our City Manager and Economic Development team to seek out the right businesses for our community that are both desired by the public and beneficial to our local economy.

Other Thoughts

Rowlett’s land-locked nature means that any future growth opportunities must be carefully discerned. Saying “yes” to everything isn’t right, but saying “no” to everything isn’t fair. As a trusted leader and visionary for Rowlett, I stand ready to carefully consider each opportunity that comes before the City Council within our community.
