Today, I’m not writing as a candidate or as your elected official.
I’m writing as a mom.
My youngest son is a Captain in the United States Marine Corps. He chose to serve this country and every Veterans Day, that choice sits differently in my chest than it does on any other day.
I know what it means to watch someone you love put on a uniform. To be proud and grateful and a little scared, all at the same time.
There are thousands of families in Tarrant County who know that feeling all too well. Families with veterans who came home, and those who didn’t. Parents, spouses, siblings who waited.
This county owes them more than a day. We owe them leadership that actually shows up for housing, for healthcare, for the systems that are supposed to have their backs the way they’ve had ours.
As your next County Judge, I’m excited to get to work. My team and I are already developing policies and improvements to benefit every family in Tarrant County, and the past few days have been full of interviews and conversations about the future.
This @FOX4 clip is just one of many covering the changes coming to our community. Stay tuned, and keep sending us your ideas on how we can serve you and your neighbors.
The people have spoken. They want a county government that actually shows up for them on housing, on healthcare, and on how their tax dollars are spent.
As your County Judge, that’s exactly what I will do.
