The Three Pillars
Community Collaboration
Building solutions together
Fiscal Responsibility
Every taxpayer dollar accounted for
Strategic Planning
Creative problem solving for Kerr County
A Different Approach
Politics doesn't have to be combative. Local government works best when officials collaborate across party lines, listen to residents, and make decisions based on what's effective rather than what's politically expedient.
Running as an independent means being accountable to Kerr County residents, not party bosses or national political agendas. It means bringing people together around shared goals rather than dividing them along partisan lines.
"The most effective leaders don't just talk about bringing people together - they actually do it. They show up, listen first, and build solutions through collaboration rather than conflict."
Kerr County deserves strategic planning and fiscal responsibility - the kind of long-term thinking that protects property values and prepares for challenges before they become crises. After July 4th, our community came together. That same collaborative spirit can guide how we approach water security, emergency preparedness, infrastructure investment, and transparent budgeting.
This campaign models that approach: community-focused rather than self-promotional, substance over personality, collaborative rather than combative. The goal isn't just to win an election - it's to help build a more collaborative political culture in Kerr County.
THE FIVE PRIORITIES
1. Emergency Preparedness & Flood Warning System
Learn from the July 4th tragedy. Build comprehensive flood warning systems, coordinated emergency response protocols, and infrastructure that protects lives before disasters strike.
2. Water Security & Sustainable Growth
Bridge-builder among City of Kerrville, Headwaters Groundwater Conservation District, and Upper Guadalupe River Authority. Strengthen existing 2022 regulations through strategic implementation and voluntary landowner partnerships.
3. Guadalupe River Corridor: 10-Year Vision
8-mile multi-benefit infrastructure combining flood mitigation, recreational trails, conservation easements, and emergency access. Grant-dependent phased approach protecting property while creating economic opportunity.
4. Budget Transparency & Fiscal Strategy
Real-time online dashboard showing every taxpayer dollar. Pursue $700K-$1.5M in revenue diversification before considering tax adjustment. Business discipline applied to county finances.
5. Infrastructure Investment Plan (20-Year)
Give Engineering Department and Road & Bridge crews systematic planning tools. Preventive maintenance saves $8M-$15M over 20 years while delivering better infrastructure.
