FAQs
Why I decided to run for Celina City council place 3 against Andy Hopkins who has been there for 9 years and is looking for another 3.
The answer is simple. I respect Andy and his service to the city of Celina, but it is time for a change.
I decided to run because I am seeing Celina go down the same path as other organizations I have been part of over the years that were focused on growth for growths sake. In my experience unrestrained growth without the right foundation will destroy a company or a community .
Why I am so concerned about unrestrained residential growth in Celina.
The burden on public infrastructure, including water, sewer, the police, fire department and public works are only the tip of the iceberg.
Unrestrained residential growth, brought on by hundreds of millions in Tax Incentives, severely impacts both Celina and Prosper ISD’s.
“You have been in Celina for almost 10 years and have not been very active in either local voting, attending city council meetings, or volunteering. Why do you think the Citizens of Celina should support someone who only so recently decided to become involved”
It is true I have only voted in two county or local elections in the time me and my family have lived here, and I haven’t had the opportunity to serve on local boards like the EDC, Planning and Zoning etc even though I have applied and not been selected.
I have been guilty of the sin of Apathy.
At the end of the day I should have been more more involved and taken advantage of other opportunities for serve in the community.
