Candidate: Henry Montavious Duhart

Duhart's a life long resident of Fort Pierce, FL raised by his grandmother Joann Martin under strong christian values and the belief that nothing is impossible if you put your mind to it. His mother has worked in the ESE department in the st. lucie county school system for many years helping to educate special needs students. And his father has worked for the city of Fort Pierce as a public service worker for as long as he can remember installing in him the meaning of hard work and sweat. He's a graduate of Ft. Pierce Westwood High School. Duhart went off to Florida A & M University for 3 years as a business student where he became very involved off campus as a activism within the leon countylocal homeless community and after school programs. He believed that the combination of the arts, culture, and youth strongly invokes positive change in any community. He then after his 3rd year moved back home on June 2016 to help take care of his grandmother and will be completing his degree at Indian River State College. While back home he realized that within his community not much had changed concerning infrastructure, crimes, poverty, and the homeless community. And the common factor that he could point out in all of it was the same leadership that couldn't seem to figure out how to bring his hometown out of the poverty. So instead of running away and leaving his city in the hands of failed leadership he stood up and took the journey to be the change that his community needed. The youth needs leadership that represents their needs and can lead them into a brighter day. We are not only the future but the key to issues in the present. We must get involved now not later in the process. I believe my campaign and victory will be the answer to igniting the flames of the progressive youth in our community. Duhart's slogan is don't complain be the change.
