Same taxpayer dollars. Different rules.

Florida funds public schools, charter schools, and voucher schools with taxpayer money, but they aren’t held to the same standards of accountability, transparency, or oversight.

I am a 23-year-old lifelong resident of Citrus County. I went to school here for all levels and graduated from Crystal River High School in 2022. I was in the Boy Scouts for the majority of my life, starting in the first grade and ultimately earning the rank of Eagle Scout at 18.

I truly love this county. It’s all I’ve ever known. I’ve had the privilege of watching Citrus County grow alongside me. I’ve seen cow farms become sprawling shopping centers, and I’ve watched mom-and-pop shops come and go. Through all of that change, my affection for this community has only grown.

I love the outdoors, which is one of the reasons I chose to run for the Mosquito Control Board. I believe everyone should be able to safely enjoy the outdoors, and I believe Mosquito Control plays an important role in protecting our community from mosquito-borne diseases while also being responsible stewards of our environment.

I’m also running because I believe in transparent government. The people of Citrus County deserve to know where their tax dollars are going and what they can expect from their Mosquito Control District. I want to help ensure that the district remains accountable to the people it serves.

Education is another area I believe deserves attention. I understand the importance of having an informed constituency, and I want to expand upon the educational outreach already provided by the Mosquito Control District. I would like to see greater involvement with our local school district so that we can better educate and prepare future generations about mosquito-borne diseases, environmental stewardship, and the role Mosquito Control plays in our community.

To sum up my campaign: I’m not running to make money off this seat, nor am I seeking it as a stepping stone to higher office. I’m running because I genuinely want to see my community get better. I love Citrus County, and I want to do whatever I can to help protect it, improve it, and preserve it for future generations.

Now that the votes have been tallied for the primary election we are in the final stretch toward November, when I will be one of two candidates on your ballot for Citrus County Community Charitable Foundation Seat 2 🗳️

But what exactly is Seat 2?

The Citrus County Community Charitable Foundation is a public foundation entrusted with managing resources that can be invested back into our community. The Board helps make decisions about how those resources can support programs and organizations that improve the lives of Citrus County residents.

I’m running because I believe those decisions should be made with our community’s real needs in mind.

I’m not a politician, I don’t have years of experience networking with big important figures. But I know what it’s like to stretch a budget, work hard, raise a family, and face seasons when a little help from a community resource can make a very big difference.

I also know that the challenges facing families today aren’t always visible from a boardroom. They’re happening around kitchen tables, in classrooms, at doctors’ offices, and in homes throughout Citrus County.

That perspective matters.

If elected, I want to bring a fresh voice, responsible stewardship, and a genuine understanding of the people these resources are meant to serve.

I believe we can build on the strong foundation that already exists while looking ahead to what our community will need tomorrow.

Stronger Community. Stronger Foundation. Better Future.

If you’re interested in learning more about my campaign and what I hope to bring to Seat 2, follow my page and join me on the journey to November.

The racist attacks against Rep. Angie Nixon have no place in our politics or our party. We stand with Rep. Nixon and call on Ashley Moody to denounce these bigoted attacks and make clear that this kind of rhetoric has no place in Florida politics.
