06/16/2026

You are very welcome sir. Do good for our beautiful part of Florida. I’m behind you and respectfully request all followers to like Sam’s page. I’ll be supporting him whatever way I can and believe in our county’s future with kind and thoughtful people at the helm.

Thank you to everyone who has reached out. More to come but I wanted to give a live update from me and a request to the incumbent before podcasts begin. The truth is coming, the bullying must stop, we have a lot to do. The doxxing and misinformation is going to be addressed, the plans, programs, and details of what the real desires of the person behind the candidates is going to be put out. It’s ugly and no place for it in our beautiful county. Do we need to address things, absolutely. But with professionals and process. Follow the for facts and The Civil Engagement resource is coming too. We owe it to ourselves to know more to combat fake news, imposters, and the like with axes to grind at the determinant to us all.

With careful consideration and community at the forefront of all my decisions, I’m withdrawing from the race and getting behind Sam Williams. Thank you for all the support.

I’m not however, taking the summer off. I’ll be starting two series, and A Civil Engagement. Stay tuned.

Until then, I’m going fishing with my father

Let’s Get Things Done! Campaign is underway and signs are going out! Even though it will take a willingness to work with everyone, I see and hear the fear in everyone’s voice around “Who is Heather working for and beholden too.” As your Neighbor, your support matters most. I have decided to take a pledge of no developer money which means every Neighbor dollar I is needed to pay for material materials like signs and shirts, etc.. I wanna be very clear, good people, local people, have created amazing opportunities for many by, deciding to build our homes and buildings that we love to enjoy barbecues and create businesses in. When elected, collaborative effort will ensure our communities needs are met. But I chose to run because I chose to run, and there’s no better way to show that then to ensure that this race is done with neighbors.

Thank you to my parents for always asking the right questions when I volunteer for things then showing up to help! But more so, showing what success long term looks like. From Girl Scout camp outs and Fletcher parade floats, cycling and 5ks event volunteering and now running for office, you always found a way to support these endeavors. My passionate professionalism, willingness to get my hands dirty, how to rig baits, work ethic, love of the ocean and animals, this is what 50 years looks like. It’s showing up, compromise, figuring it out. Making the big decisions and small ones and remembering to always have fun!

Let’s be honest…. You want an official that can figure this out…. Happy Saturday. Hope you’re all getting the yard work done before the heat of the day! Walking neighborhoods and knocking doors this afternoon. Stay hydrated my friends.

Special thanks to News 4 Jax for coming to the site and visiting with Merrel Bros.

This agenda item almost wasn’t heard because the incumbent wanted to pull a by the book, professional proposal and solution, keeping it from being heard in public. Time and again she stated she doesn’t know, wasn’t informed, and not invited to attend meetings and conferences when all other 4 seats have participated in multiple capacities over the years.

The truth is after 4 years, that can’t be the answer from an incumbent. Heather has worked to address the community need related to this public continuum provider. Her efforts led to this path and to be in the audience and watch a motion to not allow it to be heard, just disheartening. Then to target Heather for political gain during another companies item, while also not focusing on the solution, even admitting she wasn’t prepared?

Even after learning during the presentation of this State and Countrywide problem, she still wanted to pay more to just take it away, IE waste more tax dollars with no solution and just kick the can down the road.

We need leadership who is experienced, professional, and can prepare and think critically and not be one AI bullet point deep. Thank you to the incumbent for disrupting the developer bought board, but it’s time for future strategy and professional leadership to solve complex issues and prevent this from continuing for our next generation. It’s time to take accountability, do the job you’re paid to do, show up prepared, and make the hard decisions.

St. Johns County commissioners are set to hear a presentation Tuesday, June 2, on a proposal that would replace the open-air biosolids composting operation at the Indianhead site near St. Augustine with a new enclosed treatment facility.

Wow… local REC meeting was well attended, engaging, informative, and to put this out there… pretty fun! Other candidates were there and well… they are pretty funny too. I didn’t know I would get a chance to say something, but thank you for allowing me a couple minutes. My “Freedom from Developers” campaign starts tomorrow, seemed appropriate to announce with the folks that helped stop the status quo on SJC politics. Also this week I was able to hear about Wilton Simpson’s history and campaign and Ashley Moody’s special election. Florida is heating up and not just because it’s summer!
