Jason Bailey Announces Candidacy for Marco City Council

Having called Marco Island home for nearly 30 years, Bailey is seeking to bring his experience in business, community planning, and civic leadership to the City Council. As the majority owner of FCI Homes, he has spent decades building homes and investing in the community. He currently serves as Chairman of the Marco Island Planning Board, where he has worked alongside fellow board members to help guide thoughtful growth while preserving the unique character of the island.

Bailey’s campaign is built around three core priorities: Protecting Marco’s Character, Providing Effective Leadership, and Being a Diligent Steward of City Resources.

“Marco Island has been home to my family for nearly three decades,” Bailey said. “It is where we’ve raised our children, built our business, formed lifelong friendships, and created a life rooted in this community. I care deeply about Marco’s future and want to help ensure we preserve what makes our island so special while preparing thoughtfully for the years ahead.”

Bailey said his experience as both a local business owner and Planning Board Chairman has prepared him to address the issues facing the city with a practical, solutions-oriented approach.

“Every decision made by City Council has an impact on our residents, businesses, and taxpayers,” Bailey said. “I believe in listening first, leading with integrity, and making fiscally responsible decisions that protect our quality of life while ensuring our city government remains effective, responsive, and accountable.”

Throughout the campaign, Bailey will focus on preserving Marco Island’s distinctive character, supporting responsible fiscal management, investing in infrastructure and long-term planning, protecting the community’s quality of life, and encouraging open, transparent communication between city government and residents.

“Marco Island is a remarkable community because of the people who call it home,” Bailey said. “I would be honored to earn the trust and support of my fellow residents, and I look forward to meeting with voters throughout the coming months to hear their ideas and discuss the future of our island.”
