There are times in the life of a city or region when the choices we make define the character of our city. Times when people stand up and demand real significant change. This is one of those moments.

As we move beyond the pandemic, we have the chance to shape a brighter future for Largo and I believe I have the vision and the plan to do it.

That is why, I'm setting out my plan for Largo. It is a plan to make the most of opportunities ahead, a plan to make Largo, stronger, fairer, more unified and outward looking than ever before.

It is a plan for a bold and progressive Largo taking its place in Pinellas County & Tampa Bay region. So we will continue to forge new deep, special partnerships within Pinellas County & the greater Tampa Bay region.

It is a plan for a stronger economy, where everyone plays by the same rules, so we will crack down on businesses not following the rules and individuals and businesses who abuse the system that impact residents' lives in negative ways, so residents keep more of their money.

It is a plan to deliver a modern industrial & housing strategy. A plan that will help spread prosperity and opportunity in every part of Largo. Our plan will adopt a new target industrial employment map and new MAX traffic index to more quickly & efficiently evaluate and approve building projects.

It is a plan to deliver record new housing units by putting the largest investment in Largo’s history into housing construction, community development and planning. Our plan will bring online at least 10,000 new housing units over the next decade, catching up our housing supply in order to give our children and grandchildren the opportunity to buy homes in the City they grew up in and love.

It's a plan that will also work to save and protect our mobile home communities. We will provide record investment and incentives to these parks to redevelop their communities to meet modern safety standards, working with others to secure funding so we protect our seniors ability to access affordable housing in Largo.

It's a plan that will ensure a fair and efficient tax system, a plan that continues to provide and grow the world class services to residents but also maintain the priorities our citizens demand, while building or maintaining our reserves so we continue to show we're a city that lives within our means and keeps our commitments.

It is a plan for a fairer community, where success is based on merit not privilege, so my plan will provide free access for all Largo children to attend 4 year old VPK full time with paid top up for all. Our plan will also provide free VPK to all 3 years olds in Largo making less than 50% of Area Mean Income (AMI). It is also a plan that will secure free access to Largo Summer & After School programs for all Largo residents making less than 25% of AMI.

Lastly, it is a plan for a united city, that our children and grandchildren are proud and able to call home. We will strengthen and protect the precious recreation centers, parks and reserves that make Largo special while still acting for the benefit of every resident in Largo.
