Forward Thinking
My passion for leveraging technology and innovative solutions reflects my belief that by embracing change, we can create a more efficient, sustainable, and forward-thinking Flagler County.
Fiscal Responsibility
I stand firm on the principles of integrity and fiscal responsibility, ensuring that every decision made is in the best interest of our residents, promoting transparency, accountability, and prudent financial management for Palm Coast's future stability.
Community Engagement
My commitment to enhancing civic engagement stems from a core value of inclusivity, believing that a truly great County is built on the foundation of active participation, diverse voices, and a collective vision for our community's future.
Public Safety. 20+ Additional FCSO Officers.
Over the past eight years, I have voted to fund over 20 dedicated deputies to enhance public safety in Palm Coast. My unwavering commitment to ensuring the safety of our community has contributed to Palm Coast being recognized as the second safest city in Florida.
First Responders. Top Priority.
Over the past eight years, I have steadfastly supported funding for our fire department, including the acquisition of new fire trucks and the renovation of existing stations. This legislative session, we are also securing funding for additional stations, ensuring our community remains well-protected.
Responsible Taxation. Full Transparency.
In Palm Coast, we've managed to keep tax increases minimal while simultaneously building emergency reserves. Last year, we achieved a full rollback rate, showcasing our commitment to fiscal responsibility. This year, however, I support maintaining a level tax rate to prioritize essential projects such as infrastructure enhancements and hurricane resiliency measures. These initiatives are crucial for sustaining our community's growth and ensuring the safety and well-being of our residents.
Southern Recreation Center. Truly a game changer.
I proudly championed the initiative for our new southern recreation center. This project stands as a testament to innovative funding strategies, having been fully financed without reliance on general fund tax dollars. Through diligent efforts, we secured necessary funding through grants and the strategic use of impact fees.
Indian Trails Sports Complex Expansion. See for yourself.
We successfully expanded the baseball fields and installed state-of-the-art lighting at our Indian Trails Sports Complex, solidifying Palm Coast's reputation as a top destination for baseball in the region. This enhancement is a testament to our dedication to promoting active lifestyles and supporting sports excellence.
Palm Coast Community Center. Checkmate.
I am proud to have cast my vote in favor of establishing our new community center, a decision that has profoundly transformed our community. This center is not just a building; it's a vibrant hub where residents of all ages gather to connect, learn, and engage in a variety of activities. Its inception represents a cornerstone achievement in our ongoing efforts to enhance the quality of life in Palm Coast, fostering a strong sense of community and belonging.
