Seabrook's Economic Future
Seabrook is on the brink of something special—a true Seabrook Renaissance. With our location, character, and potential, the groundwork is already being laid for meaningful growth. But this moment requires wisdom, not just ambition.
Now is not the time to discard the institutional knowledge and relationships that have brought us this far. We need experienced voices at the table to help build trust with new businesses, support the ones already here, and ensure that growth aligns with the values of our community.
I’m optimistic about where Seabrook is headed, and I believe we have the right people and foundation to get there—together.
Proposed Police Station
Proposition A proposes an $18 million bond to fund a new Seabrook Police Station, replacing the current facility on Cook Avenue, which was built in 1996. In the nearly 30 years since, Seabrook’s population and police department have both grown significantly—putting more pressure on a building that no longer meets the city’s needs for space, security, or day-to-day operations.
I support this investment because a modern police station can improve public safety, support our officers, and contribute to a stronger foundation for economic development.
But most importantly, this decision belongs to the citizens, and I’ll respect whatever choice the community makes.
Proposed Pool Facility
Proposition B proposes a $4 million bond to build a new facility to replace Pelican Bay Pool, which closed in 2023 due to major maintenance and safety issues.
I support this investment because it’s more than a pool—it’s a commitment to quality of life. Public pools aren’t just places to cool off—they’re gathering spaces that bring families together, give kids a safe place to play, and provide opportunities for swim lessons, fitness, and community events.
Of course, this decision belongs to the people of Seabrook, and I’ll stand behind whatever path the community chooses.
Preserving Institutional Knowledge
Our city staff—including the city manager—carry a wealth of institutional knowledge built through years of service, experience, and problem-solving. That knowledge can’t be replaced overnight. While it’s always important to evaluate performance and seek improvement, we must also recognize the value of consistency, expertise, and historical understanding.
Staff work under the direction of the City Council and in service to the residents of Seabrook. If we want better outcomes, the answer isn't always to replace people—it's to communicate clearly, make sound decisions, and provide the vision and support they need to succeed.
Working with the Port of Houston
The Port of Houston is a powerful economic engine right in our backyard, and Seabrook is uniquely positioned to benefit from a strong, strategic partnership. My approach is to listen first, understand shared goals, and look for opportunities that align with Seabrook’s long-term interests—whether that’s infrastructure improvements, environmental safeguards, or job creation.
We don’t need to push back on the port—we need to sit at the table with clear goals, good faith, and a mindset focused on mutual benefit. With the right collaboration, we can protect our quality of life while unlocking new opportunities for our community.
Working with TxDOT
TxDOT plays a major role in shaping Seabrook’s infrastructure, traffic flow, and future development. Rather than working against the state, we need to build strong relationships, communicate our local priorities clearly, and stay engaged every step of the way.
My mindset is simple: advocate for what’s best for Seabrook while recognizing the scale and complexity of regional planning.
With the right approach—focused on collaboration, persistence, and clarity—we can ensure Seabrook’s voice is heard and that state projects reflect the needs and values of our community.
