Dallas County needs someone with business sense and the ability to question the direction our County is going under the current Democrat-dominated regime. The Dallas County Commissioners Court is made up of two personal injury attorneys, a dentist, a former school administrator, and a community activist. My decades of experience working with organizations to improve will bring a much needed perspective to the Commissioner’s Court.

I am asking Republicans, Independents and Democrats concerned with the fiscal cliff facing Dallas County to set partisan politics aside and put an independent voice on the Commissioner's Court who will scrutinize these budgets, ask the tough questions, and keep government honest and accountable to you, the citizens it represents.

I believe in the future of this state, city and county.  I want Dallas to be a place my kids are proud to call home.
