Dallas County District 4 is an amazingly diverse area.

I've invested countless hours talking with — and listening to — the wonderful people all over the district.

You and your neighbors have shared with me your hopes for an even better quality of life here ... along with the issues that matter most to you and your families.

As a result of our conversations, I've decided that my six priorities as a Dallas County Commissioner are:

• Economic development
  
  
• Wellness services that are fiscally responsible
  
  
• Public safety improvements
  
  
• Public works/transportation improvements
  
  
• Equal respect for the district's different population groups
  
  
• Greater transparency in the court's activities
  
  
• Better communication with citizens
