Jacksonville families desperately need ethical, responsive leadership to tackle rising prices, support public safety, and enhance our quality of life. As a Navy Commander, I’ve prosecuted terrorists in Iraq, led Sailors and Marines, and served in a wide range of community organizations to deliver results. At City Hall, I’ll bring the same discipline, accountability, and common sense I’ve lived by my entire career.”
