Growth is coming to Tampa, but it shouldn’t happen at the expense of our quality of life. I advocate for smart, measured development that respects our existing neighborhoods while accommodating our future ones. My approach is simple: let’s stop gambling with your tax dollars on massive, permanent projects that haven't been tested. I’m a proponent of pilot program approaches. Whether it’s transit lanes or new traffic patterns, let’s test the ideas inexpensively first. If they work, we build them; if they don’t, we haven’t wasted your money. I’m running to bring common-sense experimentation and accountability to how our city grows.
