Great coverage of the “Jacksonville Heroes Act” (2024-120) making Jacksonville the best city in America for deployed service-members and their families! Let’s roll!

I’m heartbroken. Our Shari, “mom,” passed away last night. She had been valiantly fighting cancer over and over and winning, and this last bout was just too much. Shari created K9’s For Warriors through sheer grit, love, and a tenacity that I’ve never knew existed.

Tonight, I am introducing a bill banning ballon and lantern releases in Jacksonville. Balloons litter our beaches and harm our marine wildlife and local birds. Lanterns set fire to a prop in SJC last year. This is a win for everyone who loves our Beaches.

I’d sponsor this bill. These messages of hate have no place in our community.
I'm surprised no one on Jacksonville City Council has introduced a bill making the projection of light messages on the side of a building without the owner's permission a misdemeanor.
A 2020 Harvard Law Review article argued it may already be civil trespassing and nuisance.

Let’s be clear, dogs that were assisting US military forces in Afghanistan were left behind to be killed by the Taliban. DOD is not being honest about it.
@k9sforwarriors
offered to take as many dogs as could be airlifted out, no questions asked. This was a preventable travesty.

Beaches Residents: The 3 Beaches mayors are keeping our beaches OPEN. Can only stay open IF we all follow rules. 1. Stay within 500ft of a lifeguard if swimming. 2. Groups of 10 or smaller and distances 6ft. 3. Use common sense. If we all work together, we can keep open.

Great news! Tonight (or early this morning), the Jacksonville City Council passed an ordinance making it a crime to project messages on buildings w/out the owner’s consent. A good/content neutral bill under the 1st Amd. A strong statement against hate in Jacksonville.

It’s time to clean up Jax politics. The corruption is deep, wide, and bi-partisan.
News: 11th Circuit Court of appeals upholds ex-U.S. Rep. Corrine Brown's conviction on fraud and conspiracy charges in a 2-1 decision. The argument centers around whether a juror was properly removed.
