Home Rule! Local voices make local choices for clean water

Elected as a public servant for the city of New Smyrna Beach, it became my duty to advocate for policies that best serve our community. It is my duty to strongly oppose state Legislature interference with local government fertilizer controls. In 2023, the Florida Legislature tied the hands of local governments by preventing them from adopting common-sense rules for safe application of fertilizer to our yards and landscapes.
