Candidate Statement: I believe my proven leadership as an Eagle Scout and 27 year Coast Guard career make me uniquely qualified as your next Pasco County Commissioner. I will work hard to attract businesses to Pasco County to create jobs and ignite economic growth. As a life-long Republican, fiscal responsibility is in my nature. Reckless spending is not only irresponsible, it affects essential programs. I am committed to maintaining county services and will support Pasco County parks and recreation; our residents depend on them and they attract tourism. I am against Park Fees. Keeping libraries open helps our unemployed find jobs. Keeping our pools open provides entertainment and recreation, and prevents delinquent activities. As a career federal law enforcement officer, special agent and shipboard firefighter, I have an intimate knowledge of what it takes to provide for public safety and security. I will work with the Sheriff and Fire Department to keep costs low, while providing the best services possible to Pasco County; we cannot attract growth if our businesses and citizens are not safe. As a veteran, I have a vested interest in veteran’s benefits and will work with veterans to ensure we are receiving the best services possible. I love animals and will work to ensure Pasco’s Animal Services are provided the tools they need. With one of every eight homes in our country being liquidated, we need to ensure that our homeless population’s needs are met and their dignity restored. Many Pasco County residents rely on Public Transportation as their only means of transportation to get to and from their jobs, stores and places of recreation; my goal is to expand public transportation routes and increase ridership.
