Candidate: Christopher Dzadovsky

As I seek reelection I am reminded of significant challenges that SLC has faced since the start of the recession of 2008.  I am battle tested with budgetary concerns through a recession, hurricanes, the proposed loss of the NY Mets in SLC and Spring Training on the east coast of Florida, and unemployment which was reported in my first year at 16.9%, blue green algae and cyanobacteria, and now a COVID19 Pandemic.  I have seen and fought at every turn to protect and to serve St. Lucie County, I know how to lead and St. Lucie County needs strong leadership and significant knowledge of how government works! 

As such, I have been a part of some of the most important and successful changes to make SLC more sustainable, business friendly; attracted, retained, and expanded local business with hundreds of millions in private investment and employment in SLC. 

I have been part of maintaining a balanced budget while being able to secure funding in capital projects that benefit all areas of the county.  As to the future, I want to continue the momentum in private investments in business expansion and attraction while seeing through the expansion of airport operations and manufacturing expansion.  This will go well with Port of Fort Pierce expansion and employment and spinoff business efforts.  As promised as part of a five year budget plan to right size and achieve equilibrium in revenue and expenses this year we have been able to successfully lower the county portion of millage rates to help our residents just in time when it is going to be needed in this Covid-19 Pandemic.

Lastly, our Veterans are an important pillar of our community and I had the unique opportunity in 2014 through to today to garner public, state, local and federal government support to bring the Ardie R. Copas Veteran’s Nursing Facility to St. Lucie County for which I am grateful and proud of being a part of such an important collaborative effort and facility.
