League of Women Voters: Written Questions and Answers
Q1. What do you envision as a workable solution for our water issues?
Corpus Christi needs a reliable, affordable, long-term water plan—not dependence on a single solution. I support an “all-of-the-above” approach that evaluates every viable option based on cost, reliability, environmental impact, and how quickly it can deliver water. That includes conservation, water reuse, groundwater, additional regional supplies, storage, and desalination where it makes financial and environmental sense. We must also repair aging infrastructure and reduce water loss. Most importantly, residents deserve transparency about the true costs before major commitments are made. Our goal should be simple: reliable water, affordable rates, and a sustainable plan for future generations.
Q2. Do you favor an independent redistricting commission to redraw city council districts and why or why not?
I support a fair and independent redistricting process that puts residents ahead of politics. I would favor an independent commission if it includes strong safeguards for transparency, accountability, and meaningful public participation. District lines should reflect population, follow the law, and keep neighborhoods and communities of interest together—not be drawn to benefit individual elected officials. Residents should be able to see how maps are developed, participate in public hearings, and provide input before boundaries are finalized. The goal should always be fair representation and public trust in the process.
Q3. Which city issues are most important to you?
The issues most important to me are reliable and affordable water, safer neighborhoods, better streets and infrastructure, responsible economic growth, and stronger support for small businesses. We must also address housing affordability, improve drainage and flooding protection, strengthen our police and fire departments, and ensure taxpayer dollars are spent responsibly. I want Corpus Christi to be a city where families can build a future, businesses can succeed, and our young people have opportunities to stay and prosper. Every neighborhood deserves to be heard, respected, and included in our city's progress.
