What do you see as the top three issues in this race?

  • Getting more commercial/Industrial business into St. Johns County to broaden the tax base.
  • Keeping St. Johns County one of the strongest financially in the state.
  • Keeping taxes low while maintaining the high quality of life in St. Johns County.

  • Why should people vote for you?

    I have a proven financial background and business record having grown a small $50 million NASDAQ company at the age of 35 into a multi-­billion dollar New York Stock Exchange company. The unemployment rate in St. Johns County was over 9% 3 years ago -­? today it is under 5% -­? cut nearly in half. Tax Watch rates St. Johns County the #2 lowest in Florida (out of 67 counties) in over-­?all tax burden. St. Johns County is rated #1 in quality of life in Florida.

    What do you hope to be remembered for after you leave office?
