Why Am I Running? |
I am running for County Judge to remove waste from county government. This will free up the funds to meet three important goals: · Insure we fairly compensate our employees · Fund our needed county priorities (roads, airport, etc.) · Reduce our TAX RATE so we can effectively compete for new industry and business. |
There is no limit to the amount of good you can do if you don’t care who gets the credit. - Ronald Reagan |
The greatest waste in America is the failure to use the abilities of the people. - W. Edwards Deming
These people are the folks actually doing the work. Management needs to listen to them to learn where the true problems lie. |

My vision: HELP make Grayson County a leader in providing world class taxpayer service & support, resulting in minimum cost to the taxpayer. My strategy: I will do this using 40 years of experience in Leadership, Engineering, Management, Organizational Skills, and Teamwork. I pledge to TEAM with the employees of Grayson County, enabling them to serve their customers better while improving their own job satisfaction and quality of life. I pledge to TEAM with the other elected officials in Grayson County to support their missions. I pledge to team with the cities and other entities to achieve joint goals. I have experience in both the commercial and the government sectors in successfully applying this strategy to achieve my vision. |
Our tax rate is too high. Collin and Denton counties both have tax rates about one-half of ours. For 11 years we have held our tax rate flat. Over that same 11 years Collin reduced their tax rate 4 times. We are NOT effectively competing for new industry with high tax rates. We must lower rates. |
