Legal Experience

Candidate campaign homepage statement: "Tarrant County deserves a justice system that exists to serve the people, not politics. As Justice of the Peace, I’ll deliver timely decisions with fairness and transparency."

Efficiency & Leadership: “I helped bring lean management practices to North Richland Hills to create a smarter, more efficient city—and I’ll bring that same leadership to the Justice of the Peace court. I’ll uphold the standard of delivering timely, fair decisions without delay. Efficiency is respect for the people of Precinct 1.”

Fiscal Responsibility: “I delivered the No New Revenue tax rate—lowering taxes without sacrificing city services—because protecting your wallet matters.

Infrastructure & Safety: “I’ve prioritized investing in better roads and stronger support for our police and fire departments—because safe streets begin with smart investments. As your next Justice of the Peace, I’ll continue to stand with law enforcement by ensuring our court operates efficiently, respects their time, and upholds the rule of law. Public safety doesn’t end in the streets—it extends into the courtroom.”
