Why Vote for me?

Commercial Tax Base - As the city residential population grows, we will need to provide more commercial uses that will keep sales tax revenue here in Melissa. Over-reliance on sales tax can be problematic, but more is definitely needed in Melissa.

Infrastructure - With the estimated growth happening in Melissa, we will need to continue to plan our roadways and utilities to provide for population growth, traffic flow and development.

Protect Green Space - As cities grow, it is important to manage and protect from the loss of green and open space. This is done by developing parkland dedication requirements, Land Use Planning, and by maintaining a strong Parks and Recreation staff.

ISD Relationship Development - Our relationship with Melissa ISD is imperative to the future success of the city for all residents. With a strong relationship, we will have the ability to plan and manage: shared costs on overlapping expenses (park and school grounds) and conservative tax dollar growth.

Public Safety – Police, fire, and public works all contribute to the safety of our residents. Population growth will require more personnel and facilities. Continuing the quality of development in Melissa is essential to keeping crime rates low.
