The Issues My Solutions!

Protect our Natural Resources

We must protect Florida’s natural beauty and heritage including our wetlands and wildlife habitats. I'll fight to get back the 50-foot wetland buffer that the current Board took away!

Address Traffic Congestion

We must make investments in vital infrastructure and technology to maximize traffic flow and minimize stop-and-go traffic, before approving any further building and development that affects roadways. These investments will be paid for by fully-funded impact fees on new developments, state, federal, and public-private partnership funding. Potholes, lengthier commutes, health and safety issues, accidents, and increased insurance costs are all consequences of congested roads. In order to maintain and repair roads, control storm drainage, and lessen bottlenecks, I will push to create necessary infrastructure, such as bridges, roads, walkways, water and sewage systems, and traffic flow enhancers.

Promote Parks

Recreation is important for our multigenerational families, and we need to build the pickleball courts, finish the facilities at Premier Park (the aquatic center, the planned event lawn (pavilion), the basketball courts, skate parks, volleyball courts, playgrounds, and the dog parks, etc.). I will prioritize the completion of Premier Park to promote the well-being of residents and fight to upgrade aging parks in our community.

Be Accountable to Voters

As YOUR Commissioner, I will be accountable to our whole community and consider the future of Manatee County. Some developers are financing my opponent’s campaign and seek his rubber stamp with no debate and little concern for the implications to constituents. I will fight to restore dialogue by allowing call-ins, Facebook commentary, and by returning your emails.

Support our Veterans

Supporting veterans is crucial. They've sacrificed so much for our country, and it's important to ensure they receive the care, respect, and opportunities they deserve. I will prioritize building housing, rather than monuments to care for our Manatee veterans while advocating for better healthcare, job opportunities, and mental health support.
