With your support, my mission is to ensure that we create solutions for the issues facing our community. Right now, that means lowering taxes, advocating for good jobs and training for our residents, and making sure public safety is always top of mind.
The first plan of action is to lower property taxes for the residents of Edinburg. Many hard-working Edinburg families are suffering due to high taxes during a time of financial hardship brought on by COVID-19. Through my experience, I plan to help efficiently maintain all of our city operations while working to lower the tax rate for residents.
Edinburg residents deserve good, high-paying jobs to help support their families. If elected as your mayor, I intend to work diligently to bring new job opportunities and training to Edinburg residents to help us build a skilled workforce that attracts bigger business.
Public safety is an issue that I care deeply about. Part of my plan is to increase funding for our public safety issues and invest more in our police officers and firefighters to ensure our community always stays safe from any harm.
I ask for your vote and support so that together we can make this new vision for Edinburg a reality.
Your vote matters! Let’s work together to build a better and brighter Edinburg.
