Hi, John Meeks here, your District 1 Levy County Commissioner. It has been my honor to represent you as your District 1 County Commissioner for the last 12 years. I take the role of County Commissioner very seriously and have eagerly attended the many educational opportunities available to Florida Commissioners. I believe my position is that of a servant leader, not a politician. I am committed to this job 24/7 and make myself readily available to the public. The same issues that matter to you, matter to me. As a 5th generation Levy County resident, I want what is best for our community.
I have always fought to improve the lives of our residents in Levy County. During the worst pandemic of our lifetime, I worked with state and local officials to keep our citizens as safe as possible, without overstepping our authority. During the aftermath of Covid 19, my participation was instrumental in re-opening, as well as creating relief programs for businesses and individuals alike. One of my main priorities has always been bringing high speed internet to the unserved in our rural county. I am proud to be a part of the effort in Tallahassee that secured grant funding for the electrical co-ops to help make this dream come true. During my term in office, we have been able to secure millions of dollars in appropriations to fund public safety, roads, parks, and many other essential needs. Locally, we have improved employees’ wages, providing for a better way of life for our local families.
If re-elected I will continue to address the issues we all face in Levy County. I will fight to keep taxes low, while improving opportunities for all our citizens. Job creation for our residents is of the utmost importance to me. Additionally, improving access to health care, especially for our veterans and vulnerable populations, are priorities I will continue to work on. Serving the public has always been my goal and will continue to be. In a rapidly changing county, we need leaders with experience to help guide us into a brighter future. I have that experience and will continue to lead.
