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.
Priorities for Precinct 4: Roads, Drainage, and Public Safety
One of the most pressing issues in Precinct 4 is infrastructure. Decades of growth without coordinated planning have left many neighborhoods with deteriorating streets, insufficient drainage, and unsafe intersections. Addressing these problems requires a strategic approach that prioritizes data-driven maintenance, equitable resource allocation, and effective project management. A focus on preventative maintenance can extend the life of roadways and reduce long-term costs, while targeted drainage improvement projects protect homes and businesses from devastating flood damage.
Public safety ties directly to these infrastructure investments. Well-maintained roads improve emergency response times; reliable drainage systems reduce the risk of water-borne hazards and property loss. As a Commissioner, the approach is to coordinate county departments, seek state and federal grants, and partner with municipalities to maximize each dollar spent. Community input will guide which projects come first, ensuring neighborhoods that have been historically underserved receive the attention they deserve.
Transparency and accountability are central to the plan. Regular project status updates, clear timelines, and measurable outcomes will help residents track progress. By prioritizing smart, equitable investments, Precinct 4 can transition from reactive repairs to long-term resilience—reducing flood risk, improving commute safety, and protecting property values for families across the community.
Healthcare Access, County Services, and Economic Opportunity
Access to quality healthcare is another cornerstone of a thriving Precinct 4. Many families face barriers such as limited clinic hours, transportation challenges, and bureaucratic obstacles that make care difficult to obtain. Strengthening county health partnerships, expanding mobile clinic services, and streamlining enrollment for public health programs can make a measurable difference. Equally important is supporting mental health resources and substance-use treatment programs that keep families whole and productive.
County services must be responsive and easy to navigate. That means simplifying permitting and licensing processes, expanding online access where practical, and maintaining in-person assistance for those who need it. Workforce development and small business support are critical to broadening economic opportunity across the precinct. Encouraging mixed-use development near transit corridors, promoting apprenticeship programs, and facilitating access to capital for entrepreneurs will help create jobs that match local talent.
Fiscal stewardship underpins every recommendation. Prioritizing investments that deliver the highest community return—whether in healthcare, education, or economic development—ensures taxpayer dollars work harder. This pragmatic, people-centered approach ensures county government is a partner in success, not an obstacle, and that every resident of Precinct 4 has the tools needed to thrive.
Real-World Examples and Community-Centered Solutions
Concrete examples illustrate how thoughtful policy and targeted action produce results. In neighborhoods that face chronic flooding, successful projects often combine improved drainage infrastructure, increased green-space retention, and homeowner education about mitigation strategies. Pilot projects in adjacent counties have shown that combining structural fixes with buyouts in the highest-risk zones reduces long-term costs and trauma for families. Applying those lessons to Precinct 4 can protect homes while preserving neighborhood character.
On roads and transit, case studies demonstrate the impact of prioritizing corridors with high accident rates and significant commuter volumes. Installing roundabouts, improved signage, pedestrian crossings, and focused resurfacing has reduced accidents and improved travel times in communities of similar size. Partnering with regional transportation authorities to expand bus and microtransit options can help residents reach jobs and health services without forcing a car-dependent lifestyle.
Community partnerships are the foundation of durable change. Working with local nonprofits, faith groups, schools, and healthcare providers amplifies impact. For example, mobile health clinics co-sponsored with community organizations have increased vaccination rates and chronic disease screenings in underserved areas. Mentorship programs between local businesses and schools have raised graduation rates and connected young people to career pathways.
