POLITICAL ANNOUNCEMENT
I have always been interested in politics and I am deeply concerned about the lack of responsiveness of the current Wakulla County government. I do not think the current administration is adequately representing the citizens of Wakulla County. I want to be sure the pristine natural beauty of Wakulla County is preserved and protected. I think there is a need for more access to recreational opportunities for our youth. I think developers should pay their fair share of new development.
