Policy Positions

Contrary to what they teach our children, our Constitution guarantees only one thing, a republican form of government. I know that many like to claim that the Constitution guarantees our liberty. It does not. The Constitution simply “limits” the authority of the government to interfere in you natural rights, a concept our people have long forgotten.

In 2000, Missouri City had a population of 52913. In 2003, the estimated population was 62570 representing a 18.3% increase. The last data available is from 2005 estimates our population at 69941. Some sources have projected that our population will reach 100000 by 2010. With such growth problems with maintaining aging infrastructure has become critical.

I believe that the purpose of government is to protect the lives, rights and property of the citizens. To that end, government should never become a threat to the very things it was established to preserve.

There are a myriad of issues that we face as a community. However, there are a number of issues that I believe require the most urgent attention. If we can resolve these issues, I believe we will offer a more attractive community in which to relocate. As such, I intend on focusing on following issues during this race:

Currently, Missouri City is saddled with higher property taxes than any of our neighboring communities. As a result, both potential homeowners and businesses tend to look elsewhere when moving to Fort Bend county. This difference between the tax rates makes Stafford and Sugar Land a better value for the buyers.

As a result of increased spending and higher taxes, we have many homes that remain on the market for extended periods of time and an abundance of vacant commercial properties.
