How do you plan to address these issues?
I'll seek immediate amendment to the 2027/2028 appraisal plan so that it reappraises properties annually to ensure fairness, and accurate market values for all taxpayers equally and so that cities and school districts can reliably forecast tax revenue in order to budget accordingly without needing to increase tax rates.

What is your approach to reviewing the county's reappraisal plan?
It must provide for annual reappraisal of properties. Every taxpayers' dollar is important and should be spent wisely and efficiently. Resources should be deployed strategically to ensure that the goal is being achieved without waste and that expenses incurred are true value-adds.

What would your top priorities be if you are elected?
Top priority is to work toward implementing policy that ensures that the primary objective of TAD be to provide accurate, equal, and uniform taxation of properties across the entire county. Efficiency and cost savings should be highly prioritized as long as they do not hinder the first priority previously mentioned.
