Elected County Commissioner Pct. 3 in 1996, re-elected in 2000, 2004, 2008, 2012, 2016, & 2020 (Voted “Best Elected Official in the County” all four times the competition was held.) Held Financial and Management Positions with Occidental Petroleum, Texas Instruments, and Continental Oil, and was a real estate developer and a cost-control consultant for large and small businesses. Have held Certifi
ed Public Accountant, Series 7 Securities Dealers, and Real Estate Broker licenses. It has been my distinct honor to serve the residents of Fort Bend County as a County Commissioner since January 1, 1997. I have protected taxpayers by ensuring that their money is spent as prudently and as efficiently as possible. I led the effort to reduce the county tax rate from the region’s highest of 66¢ to one of the region’s lowest of 44¢, saving county taxpayers over $1 billion. I played the key role in making Fort Bend the safest and most family-friendly county in the state by initiating the county’s Sexually Oriented Business Ordinance, which has kept unsavory operations out of the county and helped combat human trafficking.
