Mayor & City Council
Colleyville City Councilmembers are elected at-large, which means the Councilmembers represent the entire city, not an electoral district of the city. The Councilmembers are elected by all voters in the city, not a voter group defined by a geographical area.

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 Boulevard 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.
