Commissioner, Group 7
Commissioner, Group 7
My vision for our community is built on my experience as a business owner, homeowner, and active resident. I recognize the unique challenges we face and am committed to addressing them with honesty, transparency, and accountability. I firmly believe in enhancing our residents’ quality of life while minimizing the tax burden. I envision a well-staffed, efficiently run municipal government that ensures our community’s beauty, safety and economic vitality without straining our wallets. I stand that every dollar in the city budget will be carefully managed, wasteful spending will be eliminated, and accountability will be paramount – all while our parks are made beautiful, easily accessible, and well-maintained, our streets are kept clean and in top condition, and our residents are safe. The city will prioritize safety and support, fostering a sense of partnership with residents and businesses. My vision centers on “we the people,” where the city and police are seen as resources and not adversaries. My goal is to transform our local government into one that is truly of the people, by the people, and for the people.

Florida has made great strides in K-12 Education, and we need to stay on that path, returning practical skills and Trade School preparation to the curriculum, and working toward having the money follow the child.
All too often, government gets in the way of small business or worse, works to kill it in favor of Big Business Interests, like it did during the Pandemic. I will work to remove barriers from Small Business, and eliminate regulations that favor Big Business at their expense.
We are all broken-hearted over what happened at Surfside. We need to establish statewide regulation on transparency for HOA boards like they have done in Hallandale Beach, FL. In addition, we need to require HOA board directors and property managers be legal fiduciaries, with criminal penalties for malfeasance.
The recent move to defund or hobble our Police Departments Has unsurprisingly caused crime to shoot-up in communities across the country, including South Florida. I support local police, and will work to strengthen law enforcement, while holding accountable those who abuse the law.
We have the best Healthcare, but a terrible Healthcare System! Nobody can argue that Healthcare and Healthcare Insurance are the most heavily regulated part of our economy, and while some regulations are about safety, the greater portion serve special interests, and simply work to make care harder to get, and more expensive. I will work to remove needless regulations that hurt Floridians, especially our seniors!
Our beautiful state is a major tourist destination, and tourism is a cornerstone of our economy. I will work to promote Beach Nourishment, and cleaning-up up public spaces, especially the coastal areas, keeping Florida a beautiful, fun destination!
