Candidate's Statement

I decided to run for Sumter County commission to give a real voice to the residents of Sumter County. Both south county and in the villages, there is an unrest over a government that makes decisions based mainly on corporate profit at the literal expense of the taxpayers. I love the Villages and have lived here for almost 10 years. The villages have built a community unlike no other in the country and most of us, including me, are very happy to live here. WE need to work hard to maintain the lifestyle we enjoy. As a real republican I stand for less taxes, less governance, and protecting the freedoms of free speech, the right to own a gun and the defense against all enemies foreign and domestic. I gave that oath as a young second lieutenant and have committed my life to those principles ever since. To maintain the lifestyle we enjoy in the villages, I will work with the developer, not for the developer.

I have dedicated my entire life to the commitment of public service.  As an undergraduate at the University of California I was vice president of the student body, running the student senate and a budget of 12 million dollars. I was president of my local fraternity, president of the Interfraternity council and National council for my fraternity. The leadership roles continued as I served the next five years as an army line officer, then a surgeon for the Air Force getting promoted to Colonel. I was proud to serve. I then went on to civilian practice in a trauma center at the University of Illinois at Champaign/Urbana Illinois as chief of surgery. Leadership has been my life work, something I will bring to the county commission in defending the residents and taxpayers

As a lifelong republican, I believe very much in the ideals that Republicans stand for. LOWER Taxes is paramount to a responsive government, so the last two commissioners who increased our taxes 25% need replacement. Increasing impact fees to switch the burden in part to new development and not the current resident taxpayers are some of the many plans I have for the county.

I am happily married to my beautiful wife Stacey for the last 44 years and we have three children and 5 grandchildren. This level of commitment to family life extends to everything I do. I strive to always make the right decision for the right reason which often times requires hard work and dedication. If you too want to make the right decision, vote for Reed Panos for Sumter County Commission.
