Is City Hall truly listening to the people of Sarasota? Based on conversations I have every day, the answer is clear: too many residents feel ignored, unheard, and left out of decisions that affect their lives and their city. Sarasota deserves leadership that listens first, acts with purpose, and puts the people back at the center of City Hall. I’m standing at City Hall beside a powerful piece from our Public Art Collection. Titled, “Nobody’s Listening,” how appropriate for our time as many res

Why vote for only one candidate? Three candidates are competing for two at-large seats on Nov. 3, and each voter may select up to two candidates. The two candidates with the most votes win.

Figures cover domestic political ads paid in dollars, from 4 May 2026. Spend is the sum of Meta’s range midpoints; impressions above one million are reported as “1M+”, so impression figures are floors. Each ad counts in the week its delivery started, with its lifetime spend at our last pull; ads still running before the vote are counted as of 31 October 2026.
