Vision for Colleyville
I believe that character, integrity and leadership are essential elements for members of the Colleyville City Council. I believe our citizens want a fair, open, equal and stable political atmosphere where reasonable people can make informed decisions with positive results for Colleyville’s future.

As Your Councilman, I Support:
Economic Development that expands our commercial tax base with high quality development and merchants that meet the needs of Colleyville citizens; improved maintenance on our failing streets; maintaining our current property Tax Rate; relieving rush hour congestion with key intersection improvements; maintaining the highest level of Public Safety with State-of-the-Art Police and Fire Protection; installing protected turns at neighborhoods where needed; rebuilding deteriorating streets in our older neighborhoods; upgrading our Storm Water drainage system in problem areas; improving facilities and programs for our youth, senior citizens and Library; planning and land acquisition for future park and recreation needs; working with Colleyville Businesses during the re-construction of Colleyville Blvd to protect our commercial property sales and tax base; protecting Colleyville neighborhoods to preserve our residential quality of life and preserving Colleyville's treasured “Small Town” atmosphere.
