Environment / Energy These outstanding programs add great value to our county, not only for the enrichment of residents, but also as an important economic driver. We must do everything possible to protect, preserve and enhance our quality of life and be good stewards over the resources and programs we’ve inherited to ensure their continued enjoyment for future generations. Infrastructure / Transportation Management must start with common-sense, effective and enforceable zoning regulations, density limits and environmental protections. Growth doesn’t have to come at the cost of clean water. It doesn’t have to come at the cost of traffic gridlock. Criminal Justice / Public Safety As County Chair, wise, thorough and thoughtful oversight of Volusia County’s public protection, emergency management and first responder networks in coordination with our municipal partners and medical providers will be a very high priority for me. We must ensure that our first response systems have the support, tools and resources needed to effectively and efficiently meet the medical and safety needs of our residents and visitors and protect and lead during times of emergency. Government Reform Effective leaders are transparent and open-minded. They’re good communicators who lead by example and motivate and inspire others. Effective leaders are capable of bringing people together, building consensus and finding common ground. Taxes / Budget I pledge in all decisions to always be mindful of the residents who are paying the bills. After all, it’s your money. When it comes to budget and taxation, my three guiding principles will be conservative, efficient and responsible. Wages / Job Benefits I want our community to thrive economically and offer more and better opportunities for our children and grandchildren to build their careers, their families and their futures right here in Volusia County. As County Chair, job creation and retention will be a primary focus.
