Top Priorities for District 5

The city of Irving has increased our fees for trash pick up by 5% while decreasing our services by 50%. Its time to aggressively improve the management, scheduling, oversight, and funding of city garbage collection processes and the workforce following the changes in service that were made in 2022. At this time the Irving's garbage collection system has turned in to a complete disaster that is in need of immediate attention.  

I am proud to be endorsed by the Irving Police Association. My plan to secure our streets is to appropriately and immediately seek to increase funding to the police and  fire departments in order to improve compensation and benefits. This is to make the City of Irving the DFW leader for attracting and retaining the top qualified law enforcement professionals. This will in turn also improve public safety, increase property value, and result in economic development for Irving residents.

It is time for an aggressive plan to improve management and funding of city infrastructure to increase and speed up repairs to our city streets and local neighborhoods. 

 Here’s an example of another infrastructure project that I have successfully initiated with the board while serving as the current President of our homeowners association. We are upgrading our front entrance gates and entry system after successfully negotiating the terms of a renewal agreement with our vendor to include these improvements containing the latest technology at nearly no additional cost. 

 Are you tired of the illegal street racing going on in Irving? I will work to have the City aggressively crack down by having offenders arrested and prosecuted to eliminate this irresponsible illegal activity from our City. 

 When the city has more than a $70 million dollar budget surplus, this is inexcusable. The animal shelter and animal control is a very basic service. Fix wages, and get staffed.
