The Mayor is responsible for overseeing the day-to-day operations of city government, appointing proficient department leaders and jointly, they create harmony that resonates throughout the community. The people of Pensacola say it LOUD and CLEAR, \"We want a Mayor FOR THE PEOPLE - one who will listen to us.\" We The People want to be sure taxpayers\' money stays in Pensacola to benefit local commerce, therefore reducing undue outsourcing. We are an extremely capable community of educators, service professionals, entrepreneurs and seasoned business people who are competent to provide necessary resources we require. We The People desire job opportunities with major corporations, those of which are given incentives and the flexibility to grow their business competitively within our community. Pensacola remains idle while surrounding cities and states are attracting corporations. We stand ready to accomplish this with a Tactical Research Committee whose focus is geared to identify and introduce viable companies to Pensacola. It is our vision to promote and market economic growth designed to favorably impact the people of our community. We are a model city recognized by the corporate world, able to fulfill corporate lifestyle and the local workforce is eager to provide expertise, guidance and support for all concerns. We The People support educational opportunities for self-sufficiency through WORKFORCE ESCAROSA, actively offering both educational prospecting for workforce and career education. We The People are requesting employment and careers with above average salaries that include young adults moving up the corporate ladder so they will not feel compelled to relocate for higher wages and professional growth. We The People recognize new business fosters income and increases city revenue, hence assisting debt reduction. We The People want to be assured that Community Maritime Park is used wisely as originally intended and not maneuvered or leveraged for the lesser good. Pensacola has 30 square miles of land and coastline that can be largely developed including the Port. An appointed Commerce Committee will oversee a project to grow this area as a thriving business center and river walk for the community to enjoy. Tourism is integral to the group\'s plan and significance to a cruise line becomes feasible. Are you ready for Pensacola to have a fresh start, with forward-thinking, cooperative, transparent and trustworthy leadership? Spend some time getting to know Donna Clark. Donna isn\'t a politician. She\'s a leader.
