Hello: I am Felicia Tappan and I am running for District 1 Manatee County Commissioner. I chose to enter this race because I believe that as a citizen of the Parrish/Duette agriculture community, we are faced with significant changes to our community. Changes which will be driven by developers, industry, politicians, and state mandates.
It is my belief that each of our District 1 citizens have a vested interest in the outcome of these changes as well as a strong representative voice to be sure that they are heard in the commissioners chambers. My intentions are to define and re-establish a voice of the people, through town meetings, community forums, one on one with neighborhood citizens and home owner associations.
My platform is simply stated by "Manage the resources that we have better" "Secure the resources that we need without benefit to lobbyist groups" "Maintain a presence within District 1 that benefits its people"
Your vote for me will insure that District 1 and all of its citizens, businesses, and infra-structure are fairly and equitably represented everyday of my term of office.
