Endorsed by the Keller Fire Fighters Association

One of the most meaningful moments of this campaign so far has been receiving the endorsement of the Keller Fire Fighters Association.

Our firefighters serve this community every single day. They show up during emergencies, in difficult moments, and often in situations most of us will never experience firsthand. Their commitment to protecting Keller’s residents deserves both respect and strong leadership at the city level.

To have their support in this race means a great deal to me.

Public safety is one of the most important responsibilities of local government. As Keller continues to grow, ensuring that our firefighters, police officers, and first responders have the resources, staffing, and support they need must remain a priority. The men and women who serve in these roles are not only public servants. Many of them are also our neighbors, parents, and members of this community. I am grateful for their trust and for the opportunity to work alongside people who dedicate their lives to keeping Keller safe.

Showing Up for the Community

The following weekend after receiving their endorsement, I had the opportunity to spend the morning with members of the Keller Fire Fighters Association at their Fill the Pantry food drive benefiting Evergreen Senior Living.

The event was held outside Sam’s Club and brought together firefighters, volunteers, and residents from across Keller to support seniors in our community.

Watching families pull up with bags of groceries, kids excited to meet firefighters, and neighbors stopping to contribute reminded me how strong the spirit of service is in this city. Keller shows up when people need help.

Supporting Our Seniors

The Evergreen Senior Living community relies on donations like these to help keep their pantry stocked for residents. The generosity from the community that morning was incredible, and the firefighters shared that donations had more than doubled compared to previous drives.

Moments like this show what makes Keller special. It is a place where people still look out for one another. Being there alongside the firefighters, other community members, and current city leaders was a reminder that local leadership is about more than meetings and policy discussions. It is about showing up for the people who make this city what it is.

Grateful for Their Support

I am honored to have the endorsement of the Keller Fire Fighters Association and grateful for the opportunity to spend time with them serving the community.

Their dedication to Keller is evident every day, and I look forward to continuing to support the work they do to protect and serve our city.
