Endorsement for candidate Hughes
Editor, The Sun:
The Wakulla County Commission Primary Election takes place on Aug. 18th when Republican voters have the opportunity to remove the incumbent Commissioner representing District 4. The incumbent is part of the Commission majority, which has consistently voted to approve changes to the Comprehensive Growth Management Plan and zoning maps to the favor of developers, regardless of citizen input or benefit to the County.
Carrie Hughes, the Republican primary candidate for District 4, is the responsible choice to lead Wakulla County during this period of transition. Carrie is not against growth or progress. Her vision for Wakulla is a future where growth is planned responsibly, infrastructure keeps pace with development, and the character of our community is protected. Key objectives of her campaign include listening to citizens’ concerns and being open to differing viewpoints.
It seems the intent of the Wakulla County Commission majority is to follow the same mistakes made by so many other small communities in Florida that have been transformed by rapid, poorly planned development without consideration of long-term impact. On August 18th, Wakulla County residents have the unique opportunity to ensure progress does not change the character and charm of this beautiful area which made it the reason many of us choose to live here.
Please note that the Aug. 18th District 4 Primary Election is open to all Wakulla County residents, not just those who live in District 4. You can read Carrie’s complete vision for Wakulla County on her website: https://hughes4wakulla.wixsite.com/hughes4wakulla
