Running for Re-Election
February 12, 2007
Hello Friends,
I am running for re-election to City Council, Place 3.
It is hard to believe that the campaign season is upon us. It seems like only yesterday that I was running for my first term. I’ve learned a lot since then and think I have provided a unique perspective on the City Council. I would like to continue my work.
When I was first elected, I made several commitments to myself and you.First, I was determined to remain independent. I did not want to be beholden to any special interest groups. I prepare diligently and carefully consider the issues. Citizens deserve a balanced City Council where views are considered and debated. Those of you following my service over the last three years know I have kept that promise.
Second, I wanted to help improve communication with citizens. I was driven by the desire to keep you informed. This website grew out of that commitment. At the time I was elected, I was the only elected official in the Metroplex to maintain an active website where issues were discussed. Today, this website has grown to be a wonderful resource for me as thousands of people come to my website each month.
Third, I wanted to focus on our neighborhoods. There is so much that goes into making our neighborhoods our own — public safety, beautification, and code enforcement to name a few.After three years, I am proud of my efforts. We have added more police officers than at any time in our history, our fire departments are fully staffed, and our crime rate is the lowest in the Best Southwest.
On the code enforcement front, I chaired a Citizens Code Enforcement Committee to revise and strengthen our ordinances. We looked at ways to clean up our neighborhoods. Many of the recommendations that came out of that committee are now being implemented by the City Council.
In May, you will have an opportunity to cast your vote for the candidates running for City Council and Mayor. I would be honored to have your support once again for City Council, Place 3.Here are just a few of the citizens who support me for re-election:
