The Platform
What I Will Do as Mayor
Seabrook stands at a crossroads. With the Highway 146 project complete, we have a clear choice—embrace progress with strong leadership or risk stagnation and a leadership vacuum.
- Lead with Experience – I bring 30 years of success as a small business owner and a leader in key organizations like the Clear Lake Area Chamber of Commerce and the Bay Area Houston Economic Partnership.
- Deliver Results – I have led organizations through transition and prosperity, consistently creating opportunities for growth.
- Build Strong Connections – For decades, I have worked alongside local businesses, civic groups, and government partners to strengthen the Bay Area.
- Prioritize Accountability & Integrity – I will lead with transparency and a clear vision for Seabrook’s future.
- Balance Growth & Community – I will drive economic development while protecting Seabrook’s small-town coastal charm.
Vision for Seabrook
Vision
- Preserve Seabrook’s small town coastal feel while promoting smart economic development.

Election & Team Approach
- Five council positions (including mayor) are on the ballot—this gives us an opportunity for strong new leadership.
