Candidate: Jeffrey Wayne Bergosh

Dear Escambia County Voters,

I'm Jeff Bergosh-- a lifetime Republican and  conservative.  I'm the positive, glass is half-full candidate in this race who gets things done--upbeat and bullish on Escambia's future.  I'm also the candidate in this race with a verifiable track record of many accomplishments benefitting Escambia County AND a specific plan for the next four years.   

I'm running for re-election to the Escambia County Commission District 1 seat because I love to serve this community.  This job is hard, it requires skill, grit, diplomacy-- and at times soft power.  Sometimes it requires a fighter to move our community forward--- this place where I grew up and  raised my family. 

I'm always ready to fight the special interests for you!

I'm  humbled to have the endorsement (s) of Congressman Matt Gaetz, Representative Michelle Salzman, Sheriff Chip Simmons, Former Florida Senate President Don Gaetz, the NW Florida PBA and the Escambia County Professional Firefighters for my candidacy in this August 20th Republican Primary.  Read these and dozens of additional testimonials at https://jeffbergosh.com/testimonials-endorsements/ 

We have accomplished much--but there's more to do.  Together, with your vote, we'll continue to improve our community for our families, businesses, and visitors--by continuing to implement:

--Intelligent, managed growth

--Excellent and Efficient Public Safety

--Improved Infrastructure

--Transparent governence

--Accessible leadership

--Unsurpassed constituent service

--Better Quality of Life

--and NEVER raising your property tax rates

I humbly ask for your support and  vote to keep this county moving forward!  

Very Respectfully,

Jeff Bergosh
