Issues
Safe Streets, Tough Choices
In today’s challenging economy we need leaders who have the knowledge and experience to make the tough decisions and the smart choices that will keep our children, our families, and our communities safe.
Energizing Houston’s Economy
With 20 years’ experience in the oil and gas industry, I know that Houston’s future depends on a strong energy economy.
Hire Houston First
Leadership is about priorities – and as Mayor, my priority will be to lead this city through a strong economic recovery.
Stronger Schools for a Stronger Houston
As a parent with school-age kids, a leader focused on our economy and a homeowner invested in my neighborhood, I know we all have a stake in the health of our education system.
Infrastructure
Roads, bridges, sidewalks, water pipes, storm drainage and sewer lines: these are the most basic networks that tie our city together and keep it moving.
Support for the Arts
Great cities provide inviting public spaces where people of all ages can experience a variety of artistic and cultural offerings.
Safer, Stronger Neighborhoods
I believe Houston is the best place in America to live and raise a family - and I intend to keep it that way.
Maintaining Fiscal Responsibility
I’ve managed billions of Houston’s tax dollars - and today, Houston is in much better shape than other cities that gambled their futures on risky investments and irresponsible budgets.
Keeping Houston Moving Forward
As City Controller, I’m proud to have worked closely with Mayor Bill White and many other leaders to keep our city moving forward – with sound economic policy, not divisive politics.
Houston Is Better than BARC - Update
On so many levels, it’s long past time to fix our city’s troubled Bureau of Animal Regulation and Care – more commonly known as BARC.
