ON THE ISSUES
A Strong Economy that works for Families
Lee County’s future depends on a strong, growing economy that creates real opportunity for working families and local businesses.
Trish is creating the conditions that attract high-paying careers, support strong small businesses, and expand opportunities for the next generation. That means keeping taxes low, cutting unnecessary regulations, and removing bureaucratic hurdles that make it harder to start a business, hire employees, or invest in our community.
Trish is fighting for a pro-business, pro-jobs, pro-opportunity Lee County without sacrificing the character that makes this county special. She understands that economic freedom fuels prosperity and that when local businesses thrive, communities thrive.
Taxes, Spending, and Government Accountability
Trish understands that every dollar the government receives was earned by someone who worked hard for it.
She demands accountability for every contract, every program, and every department. Wasteful spending and bloated bureaucracy have no place in Lee County government.
Trish believes less government means more freedom, and lower taxes mean more personal opportunity. That’s why she fights every day to keep taxes low, enforce disciplined budgets, ensure transparent spending, and deliver measurable results. Government should work for the people, not the other way around.
Protecting Our Way of Life
Lee County is an amazing and diverse community. From our islands and waterways to our rural farmland, golf course neighborhoods, fishing villages, vibrant downtown districts, and growing suburban areas, this is a place people are proud to call home. There is a reason we are passionate about our community, and Trish knows it is worth protecting.
She is defending what makes Lee County special from reckless decisions that overwhelm roads, strain water systems, and ignore the long-term impact on existing communities. She believes growth must be disciplined. Infrastructure must come first. Planning must reflect the character of our communities and the needs of the people who live here.
Lee County should never sacrifice its character or values for short-term gain. Trish is committed to leadership that preserves what makes our community special.
Infrastructure That Keeps Lee County Moving
Infrastructure is the foundation of a strong and successful community. When roads are congested, drainage systems fail, or water and sewer systems fall behind, families and businesses pay the price.
Trish recognizes that parts of Lee County need upgraded infrastructure to support economic opportunity and keep pace with recent population growth. Aging systems must be repaired or replaced before they become emergencies. Roads must be widened where traffic demands it. New connections must be built where they improve safety and mobility.
Trish is focused on prioritizing projects that deliver the greatest impact, protect property, and safeguard our environment. She is committed to responsible planning today to prevent costly mistakes tomorrow and keep Lee County moving forward.
Water Quality and Protecting Our Water Supply
Clean water is critical to the quality of life and economic stability of Southwest Florida. It supports tourism, fishing, recreation, property values, and public health.
Trish is protecting our rivers, canals, estuaries, and groundwater supply by supporting infrastructure improvements that reduce runoff and pollution and by backing projects that restore and protect both water quality and water quantity.
Preserving our water is non-negotiable. It is a responsibility. Trish is ensuring Lee County supports economic opportunity while defending the natural resources that define Southwest Florida.
Real Traffic Relief
Traffic congestion is one of the top concerns across Lee County. Families feel it every day. Businesses feel it. Emergency responders feel it.
Trish is prioritizing projects that deliver real congestion relief, not studies and delays. She is working with state and federal partners to secure funding for major roadway improvements and ensure Lee County competes aggressively for transportation dollars.
Delivering results requires leadership and coordination. Trish is advancing critical projects to widen key corridors, improve safety, and keep our county moving forward. Lee County’s future demands roads that meet the needs of our growing community.
Prioritizing Public Safety
Keeping our community safe is the primary responsibility of local government. Trish supports our law enforcement officers, firefighters, and EMS professionals because she understands what they face every day. As a County Commissioner, she is ensuring they have the resources, equipment, and operational support they need to protect our neighborhoods and respond quickly when it matters most.
She believes in strong enforcement of the law and zero tolerance for those who threaten our community, including drug traffickers, child predators, and illegal immigrants. Lee County will remain a place where criminals are held accountable and law-abiding families are protected.
Trish is committed to maintaining a strong partnership between county leadership and our first responders to ensure public safety remains the top priority. Under her leadership, first responders know their county government stands firmly behind them.
A Commissioner Who Represents You
Governor DeSantis appointed Trish for her conservative principles, leadership, and unwavering commitment to the people of Lee County.
Trish represents the families, business owners, and taxpayers who call this county home. She is not afraid to take a stand, ask tough questions, and push back on policies that threaten our quality of life. When decisions are made, she stands firm for the people she represents. She knows she is their voice.
As a County Commissioner, Trish is fighting to protect taxpayers, defend our way of life, and keep Lee County on a strong conservative path. Strong, principled leadership on the Commission matters because the decisions being made today will shape our community for decades. Trish is working to ensure the next chapter of Lee County protects our values, preserves our communities, and gives the next generation even greater opportunity than we have today.
