How will serving as both Mayor and the President/CEO of the Fulshear Katy Area Chamber will benefit the community and local businesses?

I am excited to announce my candidacy for the Mayor of Fulshear.  I love serving the community that I work and live in.  I am proud that I will also  continue in my role as the President/CEO of the Fulshear Katy Area Chamber of Commerce.

The dual roles of being both Mayor and the President/CEO of the Chamber would allow me to have a unique and comprehensive perspective on the needs and opportunities in our community. As Mayor, I would be directly involved in local governance, policy-making, and community engagement, enabling me to directly address the concerns and interests of Fulshear citizens.

Simultaneously, my ongoing work with the Chamber would keep me intimately connected with all local businesses, understanding their needs, challenges, and potential for growth. This would foster a synergistic relationship between local government and business, allowing us to create a more prosperous and vibrant community together.

In essence, through serving both roles, I aim to bridge the gap between the governmental and business sectors, promoting a stronger, more connected, and prosperous Fulshear.
