A Fond Farewell

By now, I’m sure you know that my re-election campaign was not successful. When my term ends December 31, 2026, there will be another Precinct 4 County Commissioner. 

Right now, there are two candidates whose primary vote totals did not give either a majority of votes cast, so they will be in a primary runoff election on Tuesday, May 26. To vote in this runoff election, you must be registered to vote by April 27, and Early Voting is May 13-22. 

During Early Voting, you may vote at any polling site in Denton County, but on election day, you must vote at your voter precinct’s assigned site. Check your assigned voting site at VoteDenton.gov. 

I sincerely want to thank Republican voters who supported me in the Primary. It truly has been the highlight of my political life to serve as Denton County Commissioner, and I will miss the camaraderie that we have had. 

Please know that until January 1, 2027, I am still your County Commissioner, and I will continue to serve you as a full-time commissioner. We are moving ahead with many road projects in Precinct 4, such as the Argyle section of Hwy. 377. Utilities have been moved, and the final plans are being completed this month. 

And then there’s everyone’s favorite traffic jam — FM 407. The utilities on the Micro Breakout project are being moved now, and road construction should have start toward the end of March. This project will add right-hand turn lanes west of I-35W and through lanes beneath the I-35W bridge. 

The larger FM 407 project to reconstruct and widen FM 407 from the current 2-lane to a 6-lane urban roadway stretching from Gateway Drive west to Cleveland Gibbs Road includes improvements to the I-35/FM 407 bridge. This project should be ready to let next September. 

We still have a lot of road projects in the works and will try to keep you all appraised about them. 

So please stay tuned!
