My Top Issues
Housing
Slow down irresponsible annexations and hold developers accountable for paying their fair share of infrastructure. Protect our neighborhoods and quality of life with balanced, responsible growth.
Taxes / Budget
I will actively engage with state and federal officials to push for stronger legislation and creative solutions to bring rates down. Fort Pierce can’t thrive if residents can’t afford to protect their homes or cars..
Infrastructure / Transportation
Develop clear, strategic planning districts - modeled after successful approaches like Port St. Lucie’s Southern Grove - to cluster commercial investment and ensure growth benefits the entire community..
Taxes / Budget
Review all city land assets and set firm timelines for development agreements. If a project can’t deliver results quickly, move on to opportunities that will. City land should serve residents, not sit idle..
Criminal Justice / Public Safety
Prioritize competitive pay and retention. Support law enforcement leadership in streamlining operations to be more effective, while making sure officers have the tools and technology they need to succeed and keep our community safe..
Infrastructure / Transportation
I will stand firmly for home rule and defend our community’s right to plan responsibly. Fort Pierce residents - not Tallahassee politicians or developers - should decide how our city grows, protects neighborhoods, and prepares for storms.

Create special overlay districts and streamline permitting to attract targeted industries - manufacturing, marine, intermodal distribution, and aviation. Leverage the County airport expansion and Foreign Trade Zone to bring higher-wage jobs and grow commercial tax revenues, reducing the burden on residents. .

Infrastructure / Transportation
Establish clear, fair, and unambiguous language for requests for qualifications (RFQs) and requests for proposals (RFPs). Ensure planning and zoning reviews are understandable, predictable, and efficient so residents and businesses can get to market faster. Time is money - and Fort Pierce should not be known as a city that slows people down.

Fort Pierce residents - not Tallahassee politicians or developers - should decide how our city grows, protects neighborhoods, and prepares for storms. Without strong local planning, we face higher flood risks, higher insurance costs, and a weaker quality of life.
