Why Vote for Mike
________
Born and raised on Platt Ranch, in the heart of Brevard County, I understand hard work and determination like the back of my hand. My childhood on the farm instilled in me a deep appreciation for community, resilience, and the value of a good day's sweat. I didn't just live on the farm, I grew with it, learning the rhythm of the land and the quiet strength it fostered. That dedication continued when I moved to Palm Bay, serving the city faithfully for 13 years as a proud civil servant. I witnessed the inner workings of the city, its strengths and its flaws. However, when whispers of corruption began to permeate the halls, I knew I couldn't remain a cog in a broken system. I took a leap of faith, leaving the comfort of my job, armed not with a briefcase, but with a bullhorn and a burning desire for justice. I'm not a politician, I don't come from ivory towers or smoke-filled rooms. I'm a husband, a father, and a coach who spent 20 years shaping young minds on the football field, instilling teamwork and the importance of playing fair. I'm the neighbor who goes out to help during storms, the friend who lends a hand without expecting anything in return. I come from a life of hard work, honesty, and a fierce love for my community. During my time at the city, I not only learned how the city operates, but also heard the whispers of frustration from parents struggling to make ends meet, the anxieties of seniors worried about their healthcare, and the dreams of young entrepreneurs stifled by bureaucracy. Now, I want to bridge that gap, turning those whispers into action, those anxieties into solutions, and those dreams into reality. I'm not just running for office, I'm running for you. I'm running for the single mother who needs a safe haven for her child, the veteran who deserves proper care, and the citizen who is struggling with another unaffordable tax increase. I'm running for the future of Palm Bay, a future where every voice is heard, every hand is held, and every dream has a fighting chance. As a candidate committed to conservative principles, I prioritize fiscal responsibility by advocating for reduced government spending and lower taxes, ensuring public funds are managed efficiently to avoid waste. I support strong law enforcement and believe in a government focused on essential services, allowing for greater personal freedom and protecting property rights. I stand with local entrepreneurs and small businesses by promoting policies that create a business-friendly environment. My commitment to community values extends to improving education through parental involvement, while also championing infrastructure projects that benefit our community without overspending. Above all, I am dedicated to ensuring accountability and transparency in local government, upholding the trust of the citizens I serve.
