Fellow Winter Park Conservative,

I am writing to ask you to VOTE TOMORROW, Tuesday, March 12^th. The voting location for the Friend residence at is: . Polls are open 7AM to 7PM.

This is an important election, especially if you are conservative! There is a huge difference between my opponent and me on issues of taxes, spending, and other policy matters!

My chief opponent, Todd Weaver gave:

• $4,500 to Bernie Sanders.
• $2,000 to Alan Grayson.
  
• $1,800 more to the likes of Elizabeth Warren through his donations to Super PAC ActBlue.

These political donations are clear indication of Weaver's philosophy and policy preferences, as is his desire to throw away millions of dollars by stopping the library/event center project.

I am the only conservative in the race for Winter Park City Commission Seat 4. I have a proven record of reasoned leadership over twelve years of volunteer service to Winter Park.

• I made the motion to reduce the property tax millage rate each of my three years in office to counter tax increases due to appreciating home values. I did not win enough votes to change it but will continue the effort.
• I successfully fought for homeowners by reforming our tree fine code, which could have cost you over $6,000 to remove a tree in your yard.  Now, if you’re expanding your home or adding a pool, you can plant replacement trees in lieu of the fines. (Weaver attacked me for this success!)
  
• I successfully fought for homeowners’ rights, reversing a 2015 law that made it easier for neighbors to force “Historic” status on your home, which would have required permission from an appointed board to change the exterior of your home. That’s too much “big brother.”

I have led on many important strategic initiatives as a volunteer and as your city commissioner.

• Successfully led the effort that now prevents large apartments in Winter Park. Now, developers cannot even ask for R-4 zoning.
  
• Helped initiate our Forestry Management program for street trees beginning in 2007.
• Have kept our electric underground funding at the maximum level to speed the process.
• Successfully led the effort to build unrestricted city financial reserves, which increased from $8 million in 2016 to an expected $14 million by October 2019.
• Voted to purchase 55 acres of new green space, supported with a $2 million state grant for improvements.
• Voted for a new wholesale power agreement that will mean over $2 million per year in savings that can be used to accelerate undergrounding beginning January 2020.

VOTE TO KEEP POSITIVE CONSERVATIVE GOVERNANCE ON THE COMMISSION.

VOTE ON MARCH 12^TH!
