Results & Significant Improvements for Beaumont Residents
As City Councilman At-Large, I have remained committed to enhancing public safety and disaster preparedness for our community. One of the key initiatives I helped prioritize is the Real-Time Crime Center, which has already played a vital role in solving cases, making our city safer and more secure. Additionally, in preparation for future hurricanes and disaster response, I worked to secure high-water rescue vehicles, ensuring that Beaumont is better equipped to protect and assist residents during emergencies.
Youth Engagement and Development
As a resident of this community, I've had the privilege of being involved in several initiatives aimed at improving the lives of those around me. While I am proud of the work that I've contributed to, I believe that there is always more that can be done. One of my primary focuses has been on promoting youth engagement and development, I helped initiate the Beaumont Youth Council, which brought the first-ever Texas Municipal League-sanctioned youth conference to our city, welcoming 225 students from across Texas and generating over $20,000 in revenue for Beaumont. I was also grateful to sponsor a Youth Talent Show, where over 1,000 participants had the chance to showcase their talents and bring the community together in a positive way. Additionally, I worked to establish the City of Beaumont Youth Basketball League, providing a free and structured environment for kids to compete and grow. Understanding the importance of water safety in a city that has faced flooding, I helped launch Beaumont’s first-ever Youth Swim Team, giving children the opportunity to learn to swim and compete. These efforts have been about creating more opportunities for our young people, and I remain committed to finding new ways to invest in their future.
