As a Liberty Hill resident for over 12 years I have seen many changes here in Precinct # 2 & many of these changes have not been good for the residents of this Precinct. That is why I decided to run against Cynthia Long our current County Commissioner. Many of our problems have to do with our highways, and roads. There are more people moving into our area and our roads are not keeping up with the demand.

For an example, R.R 1869 is a narrow two lane road that is heavily traveled with not only cars & trucks but with many bikers. The bikers have no where to go except into a lane of the road. We need to have paved shoulders for their safety & for all the people that drive on that road every day.

Highway 29 from Seward Junction west through Liberty Hill needs to be widened & have right hand turn lanes installed all along that stretch of the highway. Even more of a concern is the children that wait for the school bus in the morning.  As a protection to them shoulders need to be added for their safety as well.

Highway 183 from Seward Junction south through Cedar Park needs right hand turn lanes along the whole route. These kinds of improvements will help ease the congestion along these highways & let the traffic flow much faster.

The 183A Toll Road is another concern of mine. The people who use this highway pay the highest rates here in central Texas & now with the proposed extension of this highway the rates are going to go up even more. Although the Commissioners do not set the rates I believe that they should do everything in their power to at least keep them at the current rate.

Our current Commissioner, Cynthia Long, doesn’t seem to care about the people who use this highway every day. I do care & when elected I will try do everything that I can to get the rates lowered to a reasonable cost.
There are plans to build a highway 29 corridor around Liberty Hill. I am against this proposal. $4 million dollars have already been spent that most of the residents in & around Liberty Hill do not want. Many acres of ranch land would be lost during & after construction.  I believe if this road is built, the businesses in Liberty Hill will suffer from lost revenue & many may go out of business. Widening this highway, as I have already proposed, would be a better answer to the traffic problem than building a new very expensive highway.

I feel that for the most part that the County Commissioners are nothing but a rubber stamp for the current County Judge & for big business. I plan to change that when I am elected.
