During my four-year term, major changes have been indelibly etched in the county without raising your property taxes. The passage of the sales tax to finance three much-needed building projects brought progress without placing the burden on Ellis County taxpayers. All of this included moving to and renovating the Administrative Center, constructing the Emergency Services Building and remodeling the jail and Courthouse.

Today, the budget issues that face Ellis County continue to require a sharp pencil and sharp mind. I am filing again for the office of Ellis County Commissioner to address the new challenges and demands that the county will face in the future. This comes with my promise to act with the same determination as I have in the past.
