Your questions. Straight answers.

Because it’s hitting families the hardest. Pflugerville households pay some of the highest water and wastewater bills in Central Texas.

A big part of the problem is structural: too much of the bill comes from fixed fees, plus debt and major capacity projects that residents are paying for over time.

Rates reflect long-term infrastructure costs: treatment, capacity, pipes, maintenance, and the debt used to build and expand those systems.

When growth planning, financing, or timing gets out of sync, existing customers end up carrying more of the cost through higher fixed charges and rate increases.

My focus is on cost discipline, better long-range planning, and making sure growth pays for growth where the law allows it.

That means pushing for clearer capital planning, tighter project oversight, and rate structures that are easier to understand and fairer for typical households.

It means choices across price points and life stages, not just “cheap units.” Teachers, first responders, seniors, and young families should be able to live in Pflugerville.

The practical levers are zoning, development standards, and a housing mix that includes smaller homes, townhomes, duplexes, and apartments in the right places.

Pflugerville is growing. The question is whether we manage it on purpose.

I support growth that is fiscally responsible, aligned to infrastructure capacity, and designed to add long-term value: more jobs, more commercial tax base, and neighborhoods that work for families.

The UDC is where we set the rules for what gets built and where. If the rules are outdated, we get bad outcomes: higher costs, less housing choice, and more traffic friction.

My priorities are modernizing standards to allow more housing types, reduce unnecessary parking requirements, improve walkability, and keep expectations clear for residents and builders.

A healthy city needs a mix. Apartments serve workforce housing and people in transition; townhomes and smaller-lot homes create attainable ownership options.

The goal is to put the right housing types in the right locations, with infrastructure to match, instead of pretending one format fits everyone.

We should use impact fees, development agreements, and clear standards so new development contributes to the roads, utilities, and facilities it requires.

I push for transparency in these deals and for policies that reduce the chance that existing residents end up subsidizing growth.

Traffic is a regional problem, but we still have local levers: smarter land use, safer intersections, better signal timing, and targeted projects that remove bottlenecks.

I support prioritizing projects that improve safety first, then reliability for daily commutes, and coordinating with TxDOT and partner agencies where needed.

Public safety starts with staffing, training, and clear accountability. I support investing in police, fire, and EMS in ways that are measurable and tied to outcomes.

I also support transparency around data, policies, and technology so residents understand what tools are used and how they’re governed.

Yes. Parks and trails are core city infrastructure for quality of life, health, and property value.

I support practical investments like trail connections, shade and tree planting, safe crossings, and maintenance that keeps existing assets in good shape.

That area represents major long-term growth potential, but it has to be sequenced with utilities, roads, and emergency services.

I’m focused on making sure plans are realistic, infrastructure is funded, and development patterns don’t lock us into high-cost maintenance with low return.

I push for clearer reporting, better public-facing explanations of big decisions, and stronger follow-through on adopted plans.

When the city is spending millions, residents deserve to see the assumptions, the timeline, and how we’ll measure whether it worked.

Pflugerville is the largest city in Central Texas that is not in ACC’s taxing district. In-district status can reduce tuition for local students and expand access to workforce and adult programs.

I support the community effort to get this on the ballot so voters can decide.

Boards and commissions do real work on planning, appeals, and advisory oversight. Many roles are low-meeting, high-impact.

If you’re interested, check the city’s boards and commissions page and apply when openings are posted.

You can email me, attend council meetings, and watch or read agendas and minutes through the city’s public meeting portal.

I also share plain-language updates on major issues so residents can track decisions without digging through a full packet.
