Who I am Supporting for City Council

I have supported Nanette Rivera and Christine Dowell for City Council from the very beginning of this campaign season.

Nanette has an in-depth understanding of Water Quality Issues, having served on the Board of Big Cypress Basin and through personal study. She has distinguished herself as the Vice-Chair of the Marco Island Planning Board and a member of her church's community service organization. She will be a strong advocate for clean water and more transparent government. 

Christine has a long-distinguished career in nursing and nursing administration. As the leader of Citizens for a Better Marco, she been instrumental in the passage of the STR Rental Registration Ordinance. She will ensure that those of us who live in center island and in the entire RSF Zone have a strong, dedicated advocate on the City Council. 

My third vote is still undecided. 

I have worked with Greg Foley and Erik Brechnitz for two years on City Council and they are both honorable men with distinguished backgrounds serving citizens at the local, state, and national levels for decades. Both have served on the City Council with wisdom, grace, and dignity.

Darrin Palumbo is a well-respected figure to island parents whose children have participated in youth sports. He has a solid reputation as a coach, dad, and family man. He has served on the Waterways Advisory Committee, is a realtor, and part owner of a local ice Cream Parlor. 

It will be an honor to serve as your City Councilor for the remaining two years of my term with Nanette, Christine, and any of the three men running for a seat.
