• 📰 Rick Perry of Punta Gorda put something in the Sun today that I want to answer honestly. He wrote that visiting the five commission offices is revealing. Four empty offices, and me in mine. I show up. That is the whole secret. Some folks have made this race about my age. Rick answered that better than I could, but here is my version. Age is what happens while you are keeping your promises. Every year on this Commission is a year I answered the phone, took the meeting, and cast the vote. S

• 🇺🇸You can't buy Charlotte County. But somebody is sure trying.🇺🇸 Nearly half a million dollars has poured into this commission race to unseat one man. PAC money. Committee money. Out-of-county money. All of it aimed at the only commissioner who votes NO when the spending doesn't add up. Ask yourself one question: why would that much outside money care this much about one county commission seat? Because Commissioner Stephen R. Deutsch can't be bought. Never could be. Look at the table. I

• 🕯️Stood at the Vietnam wall in Punta Gorda last night as the lights came on.🕯️ I was joined by General Carr (Air Force), Mayor Debi Lux (Navy), and a lot of other men and women who know exactly what it means to stand in front of names carved in stone. Nobody says much at these things. You do not have to. You look at those names, and you think about the ones who came home to no parade, and the ones who did not come home at all. You think about the mothers who got a knock at the door. You thi

• 🇺🇸 I pledged my life to this country at 17 years old. I have never asked anyone to do that. I'm asking for one hour. On Tuesday, August 18, every polling location in Charlotte County needs one of us standing outside it. Not a consultant. Not somebody bused in from Fort Myers. A neighbor. A veteran. A conservative who loves this county enough to stand in the Florida sun and wave a flag for it. 🦅 If you served, you already know what it means to hold a post. This one is easier than any wa

• While others talked about fiscal responsibility, I actually read the budget line by line and fought- often alone- to cut wasteful spending and protect our taxpayers. That’s what real leadership looks like. I’ve kept my promises and NEVER missed a meeting or a vote: ✅ Stood against big budgets that raise costs on families ✅ Fought to make new development pay its fair share on water rates ✅ Protected our neighborhoods from overdevelopment ✅ Defended seniors on fixed incomes and stood with our v
