Politics will not ruin another good man.
I am sorry for the non-business related rant but this has consumed my time lately. I have learned several lessons along the way. I shall soon return to normal produce life and am so thankful to have an amazing team around me to help with these aspects of support. Without all of them I could not have chased this.
I wanted to do a video on this I did, but my wife would not have been proud. The video would show more of my emotions I am feeling. I want to first thank so many of you for the votes and support. Today was a rough sad day that made me question not if I want to be elected but is this city deserving or ready for a caring person like me. I think I have finally hit that area of exhaustion and missing the family state that made me realize what I was always told. Many people warned me saying you are too caring, and you have a great family, and young kids so why get involved in this mess. They will never appreciate someone like you or what you do. They will attempt to diminish your caring nature and make you look bad only because they can. They told me that Friendswood doesn't deserve you and stay away from politics. I said I would not let this break who I am, and I am better than that. I said I am not a politician. I am a servant for the city of Friendswood, and Friendswood is different and ready for change.
I entered this race because I believed that our city would realize politicians did not belong in a city council. I do not care how great a politician is, the council is for the residents. We are residents who all follow the same laws and are not above them. I hate to harp on signs, but these are maybe the most disrespectful things I have ever seen a sitting member do while campaigning. This is an example of how guys like this try to break the good guys. Like yesterday, I am sitting at work and have to rush home to move a sign that he boxed it. Please, I pray this is not the path of unprofessionalism we want representing us in this city?
In closing, I hope that you all will look around this city, and maybe ask questions. A campaigning councilman does not need any outside of the area endorsements. These types of endendorsements only speak to a higher end game. Our residents are still homeless waiting for money, and the next storm could be 120 days away. We did not prepare pre, and he has been inactive post. Had we been on top of drainage issues we may have saved 1/3 of the homes in the area. I promise you this, I will never be a politician, and I will not let one ruin me. I will serve this city to my best. Thank you for your support. It goes beyond words. Early voting is 4 more days here in Friendswood.
