Irving, Texas. March 4, 2013 –

Today I am announcing that I will not seek re-election to a fourth term. After 12 years in office, it is time for me to turn my attention to my own business and personal matters. I want to thank everyone who has supported me and, more importantly, everyone who continues to support Irving ISD. It’s a great school district and I am proud to have served. I plan to devote more attention to my business, Salons on the Plaza and the Four Seasons Resort Salon, and enjoy more time with family and friends.

I understand my decision creates an open seat for anyone who wants to file prior to the March 1 deadline and run in District 6.
