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
Every day, the practical details of county governance — from pothole repairs to stormwater management — shape whether families feel secure in their homes and commutes. Investing in durable infrastructure means more than beautification; it means safer school routes, reliable emergency response times, and long-term protection of property values. Commissioner precinct 4 must prioritize projects that reduce chronic flooding, improve road safety, and maintain bridges and thoroughfares before small problems become expensive crises.
Targeted drainage projects can transform neighborhoods that have historically borne the brunt of heavy rains. Implementing modern stormwater solutions — including detention basins, improved culverts, and natural drainage corridors — reduces repeat damage and lowers insurance claims for homeowners. Sound prioritization means using data-driven assessments to place limited resources where they will reduce the greatest risk, while ensuring transparency so residents can track progress.
Public safety is intrinsically tied to infrastructure. Clear roads and reliable drainage help first responders reach those in need quickly. Strategic investments in lighting, crosswalks, and signage improve pedestrian safety near schools and transit stops. Equally important is regular communication with constituents so they know how decisions are made and how to request repairs.

Expanding Access: Healthcare, Services, and Economic Opportunity
Access to quality healthcare and county services must be a priority for any responsible county official. For many families in Fort Bend County, getting to a clinic or finding affordable care can be a major barrier. A proactive county strategy includes support for community health centers, mobile clinics that reach underserved neighborhoods, and partnerships with non-profits to expand mental health and addiction services. County leadership can also streamline the licensing and permitting processes that allow urgent care centers and primary care providers to open and operate more quickly.
Economic opportunity is another core component of equitable government. Small business support programs, targeted workforce development, and localized incentives for hiring within the community create pathways to stable employment. County commissioners can make a meaningful difference by collaborating with local chambers of commerce, community colleges, and non-profit incubators to build training programs that match real employer needs. Those initiatives reduce unemployment, widen the local tax base, and ensure that growth benefits long-time residents as well as newcomers.
Transparent, customer-focused county services reduce bureaucratic friction for residents navigating public assistance, permitting, or property concerns. Digitizing forms, expanding evening and weekend hours for popular services, and establishing neighborhood service days are practical steps that bring government closer to the people it serves. When officials prioritize accessibility and responsiveness, families feel the difference in everyday life — fewer delays, clearer expectations, and a greater sense of dignity in how they are treated.
How Community Advocacy Translates into County Action — Case Studies and Real-World Examples
Concrete examples show how community advocacy and legal work can produce measurable county improvements. Consider a neighborhood that experienced repeated flooding after heavy rains. Through persistent community organizing, residents collected documentation, met with county engineers, and pushed for a phased drainage improvement plan. By pairing neighborhood testimony with technical studies, the project secured funding for culvert upgrades and a retention pond that reduced street flooding and lowered long-term maintenance costs.
Another example involves improving access to healthcare through collaboration rather than isolated effort. A county commissioner can facilitate partnerships between local hospitals, non-profits, and school districts to create mobile health clinics that serve immunizations, screenings, and chronic care management in parking lots and community centers. These mobile units reduce emergency room visits and improve preventative care metrics. When officials use their convening power wisely, resources flow faster to areas that need them most.
Legal advocacy also plays a role in securing fair outcomes. Legal clinics that assist families with property title issues, landlord-tenant disputes, or navigating county permitting processes prevent minor administrative problems from escalating into displacement or loss of homes. By supporting or expanding pro bono legal services, the county reduces costly court backlogs and protects citizen rights. These real-world interventions underscore the importance of having a commissioner who understands both the law and the lived experiences of residents — someone who will translate advocacy into actionable county policy and measurable results.
