Priority 1 – Public Safety
Frisco has done this right, and that should be said plainly. The city’s investment in staffing, equipment, and response capability reflects responsible, serious governance. My job isn’t to overhaul what’s working — it’s to make sure it keeps working and keeps getting better.
What I want to see going forward is continued innovation in how technology is applied to public safety. Data analytics, smart patrol systems, real-time threat tools — these aren’t experimental anymore. Frisco should stay at the front of that curve, not play catch-up.
The men and women serving this community have my full support. That won’t change.
And one more thing worth saying out loud: the Frisco we’re proud of today didn’t happen by accident. It was built by the leaders who came before us — people who made hard calls and had a clear vision for what this city could be. Our current leadership is standing on the shoulders of giants. That foundation deserves respect, not just credit.
Priority 2 – Keep Taxes Low. Root Out Waste
Frisco residents — especially those of us on fixed incomes — need a city government that treats every tax dollar with respect. That means no vanity projects. No inflated contracts. No spending that looks good in a press release but doesn’t hold up to scrutiny.
I will push for clarity in how the city budgets and spends public money. I’ll ask the questions that don’t always get asked. And I will vote against any measure that raises the tax burden on residents without a clear, documented justification tied to a genuine public need.
Low taxes aren’t an accident. They’re the result of discipline. I’ve got plenty of it.
Priority 3 – Senior Advisory Board
Frisco has a significant and growing senior population. We contribute to this city’s tax base, its civic life, and its character. And too often, decisions that directly affect seniors — from infrastructure to transit to development patterns — get made without any meaningful input from the people most affected.
I will work to establish a formal Senior Advisory Board — not a token committee, but a real board with real access to city council deliberations. This board would function as an ombudsman for all issues affecting Frisco’s senior residents, giving older citizens a structured, official voice in how this city is run.
We’ve earned a seat at the table. It’s time to build one.
The Bigger Vision – Brain City USA
Beyond the three priorities above, I’m committed to positioning Frisco for the next 20 years — not just the next election cycle.
The idea is straightforward: work with regional public and private partners to build Frisco into a hub for emerging technology, medical research, higher education, and venture capital. The cities that thrive in the next two decades won’t be the ones that hosted the most sporting events. They’ll be the ones that built a knowledge economy — attracting the right talent, the right institutions, and the right investment to create something that lasts.
Frisco has the land, the demographics, and the location to compete for that future. But it takes intentional strategy, not reactive development. Here’s where I’ll start:
Bring in a Tech Expert Conduct a region-wide search to bring a nationally recognized technology authority to sit in the Ex-Officio seat on the Economic Development Corporation. This person would advise on Frisco’s technology transformation and help build the strategy for becoming a true knowledge economy hub.
Replace Repetitive Work with Automation Repetitive city staff functions — including repetitive police work — should be handled by robotics and automation. This cuts costs, frees up skilled personnel for higher-value assignments, and signals that Frisco governs smart.
A Second Full-Service Post Office Plano has five full-service U.S. Post Offices. Frisco has one. For a city our size, that’s overdue. It is well past time Frisco had a second.
An Entertainment District for Young People Create an entertainment district in central Frisco designed to attract young residents. The goal is a vibrant nightlife that keeps young talent in Frisco rather than sending them to neighboring cities every weekend. A knowledge economy needs young people who want to live here — not just work here.
A Community Conversation on Election Structure Start a formal community conversation about transitioning to a hybrid election system — a mix of at-large and single-member districts. How we elect our council shapes who gets represented. It’s time to ask whether the current structure still serves all of Frisco equally.
