Republican

I have a breadth of experience in both the public and private sectors. My public sector roles include Director of Communications at the Harris County District Clerk’s Office; Chief of Staff for the Fort Bend County Judge and; Finance Department Manager for Judge Bob Wolfe at JP Precinct 5, Place 2. I will also bring a variety of private sector and entrepreneurial experience to the County Treasurer’s Office. I have operated a successful insurance brokerage for many years, and currently hold two insurance licenses in multiple states. I am also the founder and principal of a consulting firm that offers professional services to both political and business clients.

I believe Orlando Sanchez, the previous Treasurer who won multiple awards for transparency, is the gold standard of county treasurers. As Harris County Treasurer, I will build on Orlando Sanchez’s proven record of independent oversight and online check registers, while adding modern tools. I will restore and upgrade a searchable public expenditure dashboard with real-time data, timely monthly reports posted online, and open-data portals so taxpayers can easily track every dollar. Unlike the current treasurer, I will take the responsibility of transparency and accountability seriously and will not take months or even years to make information available to the public. I will also be an outspoken advocate of responsible spending.
