Join us for our fundraiser at the beautiful Gardens Hotel on Wednesday May 22 from 5-7pm. Enjoy the luscious gardens for a meet & greet with Chris Massicotte to learn more about how he wants to create a sustainable future for the Florida Keys and make the CHANGE that is necessary to better the lives of our residents.

We have 6 months to go until November’s election, but there is a lot of work left to do. This campaign is important to me because I know I can make the change that is necessary in our local government to better the lives of our residents.

At this month's BOCC meeting, CEMEX Construction proposed a Small Map Amendment, which would allow them to obtain the 86 building permits necessary for their workforce housing units, but not require them to follow the rules of the existing Comprehensive Plan

As we celebrate 42 years of the Conch Republic, it’s important we discuss the future of our island’s environment to ensure it is protected over the next 42 years. To kick off the week-long celebration, I attended Ocean Fest where I met so many organizations, conservationists, scientists and volunteers who are trying to preserve and restore what’s left of our precious coral reef.

Last week I watched the City Commission meeting where they discussed the first of several reports on the water quality. While there was not an abundant amount of information yet, as this is only the beginning of the testing phase, I think it’s important to help keep local citizens aware of what is going on with our ecosystem.

Yesterday we filed our first quarterly campaign finance report and we are thrilled to say that we reached our goal of 100 donors in the first quarter and we out-raised our opponent Jim Scholl 6 to 1!

Did you know that if you would like to Vote By Mail it is REQUIRED that you request an Absentee Ballot every 2 years? In other words, you need to request a ballot every General Election cycle, not every 4 years as it used to be. This means if you have not requested your ballot for 2024 to Vote By Mail, you need to!

We were endorsed by the LGBTQ+ Victory Fund last week AND we finished our petition drive to secure our spot on the ballot.

This week I attended the Tourist Development Council’s monthly meeting in Key West. The TDC’s board members unanimously voted to permanently dismiss their Marketing Director, Stacey Mitchell.

I am so excited to announce that we have reached our goal of 552 petitions signed and after a couple of other formalities I will officially be on the ballot in November!

The most recent ROGO workshop and BOCC meeting this past Wednesday left me feeling anxious for the future sustainability of the Florida Keys. It is essential that we are informed of the important decisions being made, so I wanted to recap the meeting for you.

Thank you so much to everyone that was able to attend our official Campaign Kick Off Party! We are so happy for the amazing turnout and that so many in the community care about the future of the Florida Keys.

Our official Campaign Kick Off Party is THIS Thursday, March 21st from 6-8pm! Enjoy the beautiful gardens at the Oldest House at 322 Duval Street in Key West.

While the Tourist Development Council gives to the arts, sponsors distinctive island events and help us to preserve what makes us different, imagine if the TDC kept more of their budget in the Keys, helping businesses locally?

While housing was only given a brief mention during the State of the Union, here in the Florida Keys it is at the top of our minds each and every day. Recently many residents have decided to leave the Keys because they could not find a place to live that they could afford.

Would you like to help make a difference? We are looking for volunteers! A strong, enthusiastic volunteer team can help us accomplish our goals in running a successful campaign.

The County Clerk’s Office released the third and most recent audit of the Tourist Development Council that only shows additional problems to the overall operation.

Save the date for our official Kick Off Party on Thursday, March 21st from 6-8pm at the Oldest House at 322 Duval Street in Key West.

Join us at the Hometown! Call for Candidates event at Salute on the Beach in Key West from 5:30-7:30pm where all candidates are invited to discuss why they are running for their position.
