After a 20-year Naval career, James returned to the state he had always called home. It took 10 years to find a place to plant roots and call his permanent home, but he chose La Marque.
After working with the city on water rates, he chose to run for city council as a way to not only be a voice for one but a voice for all in the city, not just District D. After spending years on submarines, the philosophy of “One team, One fight’ has always stuck with him. He would like to bring that philosophy to the city government of La Marque.
