Hello Liberty Hill! A longer read than I would normally ask of you, but please read this in its entirety.
Thank you everyone that messaged me about the bogus text messages that have been going out, making defamatory claims against me. I despise the fact that our little community has attracted the kind of politics we see in Austin, DC, and other states. Someone apparently sought “professional” assistance in ensuring I am not elected to be your next Mayor.
Note the quotation marks above. A quick Google search will show you the registered agent of this PAC is Thomas Datwyler. Further reading reveals his name appears in an overwhelming number of news articles, from all spectrums of the political world, as someone with a questionable history of sustained violations of ethics and the amount of fines he has been assessed makes me wonder how he still manages to put food on his family’s table. Most of the articles reveal he is a part of a company that is notorious for violating contract and expense requirements, all while serving as either a campaign finance treasurer or creating an “overnight” PAC. If you peruse over to their page on Facebook, the page appears to have been created roughly 6 months ago. Their only endorsement was for a Sheriff candidate in Galveston County which is a part of the Gulf Coast.
Again, I hate the fact that this type of political environment has come into our city. Liberty Hill, it’s citizens and the hardworking employees deserve better.
As a response to slander: I have not been “let go” from two agencies. Anyone who desires to state otherwise should post the facts along with the sources. Here is a hint – these facts do not exist and there are no sources. As those who may be claiming such, know slander is an actionable legal option.
The image of my personal history report from the Texas Commission on Law Enforcement (TCOLE) is public record. Used in the context of the misleading information it is easy to take the bait. Anyone can easily look this information up. After all, I am the only candidate in this Mayoral race that has led an adult life of public service, which is subject to the scrutiny of public record, search and opinion. I have known this all along and I have conducted myself accordingly.
Have questions on this – don’t waste your time sending in the requests to TCOLE – ask me for a copy of it and I will personally give you a copy. In fact, I will log into my account with you sitting there next to me and you can see even more detail than what is being perverted into slanderous, political warfare. Was I let go from two law enforcement agencies? No. My employment from Georgetown PD was terminated over an administrative reason, simply because I did not have any due process protections. The Chief of Police at that time was known for violating employment laws in Texas, which was evident when a subsequent terminated employee took her case to the Appellate Court system and won. Since I was less than a year in, I did not have the same protections the more seasoned officer had under state law.
Was I released from employment from Burnet PD? No. After nine years of dedicated, honorable service, I resigned from Burnet PD and received an Honorable Discharge, in good standing. Trust, I have the documentation to prove so.
Have I ever applied at Liberty Hill PD? Yes, many years ago. Was I hired? No. Unfortunately, potential employers do not have to give a reason why a person was not selected.
At the end of the day, folks, I am an open book and will sit down with anyone and have thoughtful conversations. My campaign is simple- Transparency, Integrity and Accountability.
I will not take money from PAC’s or corporations that could create a conflict (or the perception of such), and more importantly, I will not hire, nor endorse a cloak and dagger organization to come after those seeking the same office I am asking your vote for.
I will be sending correspondence to my opponent on this matter asking that she clarify that she did not have any affiliation with anyone from this organization, and she has no involvement with these slanderous lies, per the Code of Fair Campaign Practices that she signed on January 30th, 2024. Of course, subsequent verification efforts will occur.
