Fellow Neighbors, we deserve better roads, ones where our children can ride their bicycles and walk to school on. Good roads that don’t cause damage to our cars. We deserve more investment in our streets, improving our lighting system & sidewalks for the city. And these improvements will be done with better oversight and efficiency.

I believe residents of District 7 deserve safer neighborhoods. This can be met by adequate funding for our 1st responders. Working closely with the 1st responders (Fire, Police) to come up with better ways to serve our communities and keep us safe.
I will engage with residents regularly. I believe we are here to serve you. I will report regularly about issues going on in the city and most importantly what’s affecting District 7 and engaging residents through town halls, emails, meetings and phone calls. Together with your feedback, we can make District 7 the best district in Balch Springs.
The current system needs revamping, in order for us to get things done more efficiently, and more cost effectively with the appropriate oversight and transparency. I believe in Balch Springs and more importantly District 7, we need a system of continuous improvement and eliminating waste and redundancy and inefficiency.
