Meet Your City Council Candidate
It’s time to get back to what matters
“I believe that common sense and civility are essential at every level of government and that we must work together to find common ground to serve the people of the Amarillo community effectively. Members of the City Council are the eyes and ears of our citizens and the City Manager. In this critical time, city leadership must resolve current challenges and plan for our future."
Let's Get to Work!
​
Economic Growth
Fiscal Management and Transparency
We need a safe, clean, well-maintained city to attract new families and businesses and create an atmosphere that results in employment opportunities for our citizens. Working together with our citizens and city leadership, our projects and vision must be prioritized and monetized with transparency for all constituents.
Infrastructure
We need to take care of what we already have while creating a vision for the future to support growth. Our streets, parks, neighborhoods, and water are the foundations of our community, and we must focus on these as we look to the future. Active water conservation programs must be implemented in our existing neighborhoods and an integral part of all future development.
Public Safety
No matter where you live, our first responders are essential services. Our police, fire, emergency medical services, and animal control must be fully supported to ensure our safety and attract the best candidates to our training academies. This has a direct relationship with economic growth and the health of the city.
