Campaign Update: Staying Informed and Engaged

Running for City Council means more than collecting petitions and donations. It means doing the work to understand how decisions made at every level impact our community.

Over the past few months, I’ve made it a priority to stay informed on both local and state issues that affect Palm Beach Gardens. In August, I attended the Florida Institute for Political Leadership, hosted by the Florida Chamber of Commerce, to learn more about local and state policy from the Chamber’s perspective.

In September, I joined the Palm Beach North Chamber’s Legislative Update Breakfast, where I heard directly from Senators Gayle Harrell and Mack Bernard and Representatives John Snyder, Meg Weinberger, and Jervonte Edmonds about key priorities for our region.

And in October, I participated in a Virtual luncheon with Governor Ron DeSantis, gaining insight into the state’s current direction and initiatives.

While I continue to gather the signatures needed to qualify for the ballot, and I still need your help with that!, I’ve also been focused on learning, listening, and preparing to serve effectively.

Understanding both state and local policy is essential for any city councilmember. Many issues that shape our daily lives, from infrastructure funding to environmental regulations, start at the state level but play out right here in our neighborhoods. I believe it’s important to approach these topics with balance and an open mind, free from partisan agendas, and rooted in what best serves PBG residents.

Thank you for continuing to support this grassroots effort. Your input and your signatures truly make a difference!
