A City That Works for the People

For too long, Fort Pierce has been pulled in different directions by poor planning, high taxes, and promises that never break ground. I’ve spent 16 years as a St. Lucie County Commissioner fighting for better policies, protecting our environment, and bringing new industries and jobs to our community.

Now, with this special election, I’m stepping up again - because Fort Pierce deserves leadership that is ready to get to work on day one.

The Issues and Solutions

Housing Affordability & Responsible Growth

Problem: Housing costs are rising faster than wages, while high-density projects are approved without the roads, drainage, or services to support them.

Solution: 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.

Tackling Skyrocketing Insurance Costs

Problem: Families and businesses are being crushed by property and auto insurance rates with no relief in sight.

Solution: As a full-time commissioner, 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.

Strong Public Safety

Problem: Our police budget is strained, officer pay lags behind neighboring communities, and we risk losing trained officers to higher-paying cities.

Solution: 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.

Smarter Budgeting & City-Owned Land

Problem: Too much city-owned property produces little or no revenue, with projects stalled for years after deals are made.

Solution: 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.

Diversifying Our Economy

Problem: Our city’s tax base leans too heavily on homeowners, while commercial and industrial investment lags.

Solution: 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.

Fair & Transparent City Processes

Problem: The planning and zoning process, as well as bidding on city projects, is often complicated, unclear, or inconsistent - costing residents and businesses time and money.

Solution: 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.

Defending Local Control of Growth

Problem: A new state law (SB 180) strips away local control of growth, banning cities and counties from adopting planning or zoning changes unless developers agree. This gives developers veto power over local decisions and puts taxpayers at risk.

Solution: 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. Without strong local planning, we face higher flood risks, higher insurance costs, and a weaker quality of life.

Planning for the Future

Problem: “Snake-like” annexations and piecemeal development have left the city stretched thin.

Solution: 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.
