Vision for Hutto

My vision for Hutto is a city that grows responsibly, transparently, and with residents at the center of every decision.

Hutto’s future depends on smart planning, fiscal discipline, and open government. Growth should happen at a pace our infrastructure can support, with long-term costs clearly understood before decisions are made. Taxpayer dollars must be spent wisely to keep Hutto affordable for families and small businesses.

City leadership should listen first, communicate openly, and represent residents (not special interests). Public safety, neighborhood quality of life, and community character must remain priorities as Hutto grows.

With thoughtful leadership and clear planning, Hutto can grow stronger without losing what makes it home.

Public Safety and Quality of Life

Supporting fair pay and resources for first responders
Supporting a new justice center for our police officers
Ensuring growth does not reduce quality of life
Keeping neighborhoods safe, functional, and family-friendly

Community Advocacy

I believe in servant leadership, and I will continue to help out our non-profits, seniors and veterans.
Continue to be engaged with citizens and be an advocate for all constituents.

Transparency

Proactive transparency - this is where the community is informed early, decisions are explained clearly, and accountability is built in every step.
I believe proactive transparency grows an engaged community. A lot of government requires a public information request and specific wording. Otherwise, it’s a lengthy process to find anything that would concern citizens. I believe government has purposely built these barriers.
Information should be fully available and not made to be used in a narrative that would align to personal agendas rather than best interests for the city of Hutto.

Fiscal Discipline

I believe that as a council member it’s a minimum requirement to make sure you do everything to lower the tax burden on citizens. Just a general rule for good financial stewardship. So, I pledge to keep NNR for the citizens of Hutto.
NNR - No-New-Revenue property tax rate: this is the tax rate that would generate the same amount of property tax revenue as the prior year, excluding revenue from new construction and new properties.
- Essentially, it is the tax rate that keeps the city from collecting more money from existing taxpayers than it did the year before.
Commit to not approving any water or wastewater rate increase that puts more tax burden on the citizens of Hutto.
There should be a detailed and constant review of the operational budget.

The city’s vision should be clear for staff and that frivolous spending should never be allowed.
The city will focus on a greater sophistication, more real-time data to make sure government services and the citizens of Hutto needs are met.
