My Top Issues
Supporting policies that attract private investment and economic growth
There are significant opportunities for the City of Sherman. We need to ensure accountability in managing these changes.
Path to home ownership
We should ensure that young families have the opportunity to call Sherman "Home", too.
Balance development with neighborhood preservation
Sherman is a city that values its communities and citizens. As we grow, we should plan for growth while sustaining our home.
Infrastructure / Transportation
I will advocate for smart investments in our roads, utilities, and public services that will not only support our current needs but also sustain our future growth. Maintaining and enhancing our infrastructure is crucial to preserving our quality of life and fostering economic development.
