Candidate: Kim Highsmith

I’m Kim Highsmith, and for more than 15 years I’ve been part of the fabric of our Key West community. I previously earned a BA in Communications from University of South Florida, and served on the Editorial Board of the Key West Citizen, the Board of Hometown!, and graduated from the Key West Ambassadors Academy (Class 32), while also volunteering, and working full time as a federal background investigator.

I support Safer Cleaner Ships and the will of the voters. I will advocate for more resources and attention to our residential neighborhoods, so the island continues to be a place we want to call home. I will advocate for alternative solutions to the affordable housing crisis, including strict regulation of the growing number of illegal vacation rentals which are consuming our desperately needed housing stock. I will advocate for more sidewalks, bike paths and green spaces, and less potholes, in our neighborhoods. I am here for the community!
