Who are you? Tell us about yourself.

I’m an Army veteran with countless experiences beneficial for our county. I earned a bachelor's degree in business and have experience finding solutions to budgets that our county needs. I have served as a Pastor and thru humanitarian aid for the last 10 years as a community servant. I am for people and show it by conducting multiple food distributions, annual back to school drives as well as adopting over 400 homeless children for Christmas with partnering with local school districts. In the last four months, I have lobbied for young girls’ rights at the state capitol. I have testified to the constitutional rights committee for save girl sports and went to Washington DC to support the heartbeat bill.

Please list below 3 key messages of your campaign. What are the main points you want voters to remember about your goals for your time in office?

• I am not a politician, I am a community servant.
• It is time for office holders to serve the people and not the other way around.
• Together we create change!

What areas of public policy are you personally passionate about?

One of the biggest hurdles Harris County’s Commissioners Court is undergoing is the bail reform problems that we have. Currently we have a broken system that is allowing criminals of multiple felonies let out on our streets to continue to create heinous violent crimes in our communities. We must formulate an effective system in which we protect all citizens of the county and make sure criminals stay behind bars.
