What if I told you that one of the most important pieces of water infrastructure in Hays County isn’t a pipe, a pump, or a water tower?

It’s the ground beneath your feet.

The Edwards Aquifer recharge zone acts like a giant sponge. When it rains, water soaks into the land, travels through the limestone below us, and helps refill the aquifer that supplies water to families across Central Texas. Now imagine covering more of that sponge with roads, rooftops, and concrete. That’s why so many residents are paying attention to a variance request related to the proposed Hays Commons development that is expected to come before Commissioners Court.

What is a variance?
In simple terms, a variance is permission to do something differently than the current rules allow.

What is the change?
Reducing lot sizes to 1/4 what the county codes say the minimum lot size should be.

Community-First Leadership means listening to the community. And the community is speaking.

Here’s a question I keep coming back to:

If future generations could speak at Commissioners Court, what do you think they would say?

Before we weaken long-standing protections, we should be certain we’re protecting the resources they will inherit.
I’ve said it before, and I’ll say it again: We cannot drink money.

Here’s how to speak up:
The agenda item number is expected to be posted when the Commissioners Court agenda is published on Friday, June 5. Once the agenda is posted, include the agenda item number with your public comment. **Update: Agenda Item Number K.13**

📧 Submit public comments online or by email before 11:59 PM on Monday, June 8.
https://www.hayscountytx.gov/public-comment-form

🏛 You can also attend Hays County Commissioners Court on Tuesday, June 9 and speak in person. ⏱️ Speakers are typically given about 3 minutes.

Help shape decisions that affect Hays County for generations.

Tonight feels quieter. The cookouts are ending. The flags are still waving. The social media posts are slowing down. And somewhere tonight, there are people still carrying an empty space at the table.

Memorial Day has never felt like just a holiday to me. Maybe because I think about the people behind the uniforms. The fathers. The mothers. The sons. The daughters. The stories that never fully made it home. My father served. ✝️🕊️And although life moves forward, there’s something about days like this that remind you how deeply service, sacrifice, and memory stay woven into a family forever. I think sometimes we forget that grief does not follow a calendar. For many families, Memorial Day is not just symbolic. It’s personal. So tonight, before this day ends, I simply want to say: we remember them. Not as statistics. Not as slogans. But as human beings who were loved deeply and missed still. And maybe the best way we honor the fallen is not only with ceremonies or words; but by trying to leave this country, our communities, and each other a little better than we found them.

Memorial Day. 🇺🇸

To all the graduating seniors across Hays County stepping into this next chapter…

Congratulations.

There is something sacred about watching a generation grow up right in front of us. Some of you were the little kids I would see waiting for the school bus in the early mornings; tiny backpacks, sleepy faces, parents waving from the driveway. Then, slowly, you grew taller. Your voices changed. You became athletes, artists, workers, leaders, helpers, thinkers, and dreamers.

And now here you are; graduating.

As a mother, this moment touches me deeply. Today, my own daughter Nataly graduates too. I am beyond proud of her; working a job, choosing Austin Community College, staying close to home, and allowing me the joy of still guiding her as she builds her future.

But this message is for every graduate and every family who has loved them through this journey.

To the Class of 2026:
May you walk forward with courage.
May you stay kind in a world that will test you.
May you remember that success is not only measured by titles or applause, but by character, work ethic, humility, and how you treat people along the way.

You are not just graduating from high school.
You are carrying the hopes of your families, your teachers, your neighborhoods, and the communities that watched you grow.

We are proud of you.

And wherever life takes you next, may you always know this:

Hays County is cheering you on. 🤍

One of the most dangerous lies a society can tell itself is: “It does not affect me.”

But every collapsing river, every exhausted aquifer, every overcrowded road, and every community that lost its identity once began with people believing the consequences would arrive somewhere else, to someone else, at another time. Until they didn’t.
The Hill Country does not belong to corporate appetite. It does not exist to become Silicon Valley’s utility bill. Leadership is not the art of remaining comfortable while irreversible decisions are made around you. Leadership is the courage to stand between greed and what sustains human life.

Communities are not commodities.

“A Creek Carries More Than Water”

Yesterday I had the privilege of spending time with Jim Camp as he walked me through parts of Buda and Onion Creek.
And honestly… moments like that stay with me. Because of perspective. Jim carries something I deeply respect: years of paying attention. Paying attention to the water, the land, the floodplains, the environmental changes, and the delicate balance between growth and preservation here in Hays County.

As we stood near Onion Creek, I kept thinking about how this water has seen everything long before us. Before development. Before all the noise. It has seen generations of families, droughts, devastating floods, ranchland, railroad history, and the transformation of little towns into rapidly growing communities.

And what struck me most is this:

There are people like Jim who have quietly spent years fighting to protect pieces of this county because they genuinely love it. Because they understand that once natural systems are damaged, once water is overcommitted, once floodplains are ignored… there is no undo button. That kind of stewardship matters. And as someone running for Hays County Commissioner Precinct 4, I believe leadership means listening to people who have spent decades caring for this land long before you stepped into public life.

Protecting our water is not anti-growth.
It is pro-future.

Thank you, Jim, for your time, your wisdom, and for sharing the deeper story underneath Buda’s beauty.

Love where we live. Protect what we love.

A reminder that May is Mental Health Awareness Month.

The way we treat others is often a window into what we carry. People have asked me why I stay calm when someone raises their voice, speaks harshly, or approaches life with frustration instead of grace.

The older I get, the more I realize this:

Not every reaction is truly about the person standing in front of us. Sometimes people are carrying exhaustion. Grief. Fear. Stress. Loneliness. Pressure. The invisible weight of life itself. And somewhere along the way, I learned that responding to anger with more anger rarely heals anything. Patience is not weakness. Calmness is not surrender.
Grace under pressure is not passivity.
It is balance. It is emotional discipline.
It is the understanding that leadership should bring steadiness, balance, and humanity into a room; not more chaos.

Mental health struggles do not always announce themselves loudly. Sometimes they look like silence. Withdrawal. The friend who suddenly disappears. The parent carrying too much. The teenager smiling while quietly overwhelmed. Every year, too many lives are lost to su***de, depression, addiction, and silent battles fought behind closed doors. Too many people suffer quietly because they are afraid of being judged, dismissed, or misunderstood.

As May reminds us during Mental Health Awareness Month, compassion matters. Listening matters. Checking in matters.

You never truly know what someone is carrying.

Just be kind.

Such a beautiful Tuesday evening. There’s something special about slowing down in the middle of a busy week and reconnecting with friends you’ve genuinely missed. Good conversation, laughter, familiar faces, and the kind of energy that fills your heart back up a little.
And I loved getting to give a sweet Texas charm bracelet to my beautiful friend so she can carry a little piece of Texas with her wherever life takes her; New York, Germany, or anywhere in between. A tiny reminder of home, friendship, and the people we carry in our hearts. ✨🩷

“Just. A. Mom.”

Maybe one day the world will fully understand the strength it takes to be one. I’m in awe of us mothers. The women carrying invisible weight while still showing up with love. The women building homes, raising children, holding families together, comforting others, sacrificing quietly, and somehow still finding the strength to keep going.

Happy Mother’s Day to my mother, my mother-in-law, and to every kind of mother out there; biological mothers, stepmothers, adoptive mothers, grandmothers, mothers of furry babies, and the women whose love nurtures the people around them every single day.
To women everywhere carrying the invisible weight of the world while still showing up with strength, softness, resilience, and love… this day is for you.

This world moves because of women like you. 🤍

(And because today beautifully lands on both Mexican Mother’s Day and U.S. Mother’s Day this year, I also spoke in Spanish in the video.)
