I was glad to be interviewed by Chuck Martin on the work that the City of St. Petersburg, Florida is doing to prepare for Advanced Air Mobility, an emerging industry that will change the way that we travel. The city formed a Task Force that studied the industry and made recommendations on what we need to do to be prepared at our airport and throughout our community.

The first priority of government is public safety. The men and women of St Petersburg Fire Rescue put their lives on the line every day to protect and serve our city. They need to have the best equipment and resources to respond to emergencies, save lives, and keep us safe. We need more leaders like Gina Driscoll to stand up and do what is right for St. Petersburg.

While last night did not produce the result we wanted, I am truly humbled by the overwhelming support of family, neighbors, and new friends we recieved throughout the course of this campaign.

We worked hard to get our message out, and so many voters agreed that our State Government must take decisive action to fix the property insurance crisis and make our communities affordable again. I assure you we are not giving up that fight.

Lastly, I am proud of all the good work our campaign was able to do in the wake of two hurricanes. We helped residents clean out their homes, start the recovery process, and access critical resources. Thank you to our staff for making that possible.

Thank you again to every one of supporters. I promise I will continue serving our great city of St. Petersburg in any way I can.
