Issue Position: Infrastructure

Issue Position

Infrastructure should not be an afterthought for our delegation, but should be cohesively echoing through the halls of Tallahassee and City Hall. Our current state delegation has been reactive at best in this partnership and our local economy along with the small businesses and our families are suffering from it.

Zoning decisions have always been, and must remain, under local control. Government, at all levels, should work together, as partners, with the citizens, the investors, developers and industries in progress, not a meddlesome monitor nor an afterthought.

Our community's investments in transportation and other public construction have traditionally been non-partisan. Everyone agrees on the need for clean water and safe roads, rail, bridges, ports, and airports. President Eisenhower established a tradition of Republican leadership in this regard by championing the creation of the interstate highway system. In recent years, bipartisan cooperation led to major legislation improving the nation's ports and waterways. In Escambia County, transportation is the number one barrier for many of our basic needs: Education, Healthcare, Workforce, and Worship. Michelle is committed to work alongside all of our local and state leadership to help create commonsense, bipartisan solutions for our communities most valuable asset- YOU.
