"I believe Key West succeeds when we reject false choices. We don't have to choose between business and workers, tourism and neighborhoods, or economic growth and environmental stewardship.

We can have a thriving local economy, a welcoming and inclusive community, and a high quality of life if we govern with common sense, listen to one another, and focus on practical solutions instead of politics.

As a business owner, I understand the challenges our employers face. As a member of this community, I also understand that our greatest asset is the people who live and work here every day.

My commitment is to make thoughtful, balanced decisions that preserve the unique character of Key West while ensuring it remains a place where residents, businesses, and visitors all have the opportunity to thrive.”
