Top Issues for Debbie
Traffic
Communication
Development
Our current commissioner touts about the amount of money spent on traffic solutions for Osceola County. As you can see from the map, the solutions are not predominately in District 3 though we paid 60% of all impact fees for transportation. Distric 3 has only a round-about and the 4 mile widening of Poinciana Blvd. We need an advocate for our needs.

I have led battles against improper development. We need development that will bring jobs in the proper locations within Osceola County.
Most recently, I went to a planning commission meeting due to an application for rezoning. The investor purchased property along Pleasant Hill Road as zoned commercial, which is desperately needed.Unfortunately, the investor wants the property rezoned to medium density residential instead with 8-12 unites 4 stories high per acre.
This is one of the many problems we face in our district, fighting for what is needed. Many investors purchase property and near immediately request rezoning that does nothing for the quality of life that you and I live with every day.
Communication

Quality of Life
Questions go unanswered. Instead of public comment meetings conducted at a convenient time or day, they are held while most are commuting home in traffic. These meetings are held only once per month with each person only allowed three minutes to speak. Ever wonder what others speak about at these public comment meetings? Unlike regularly scheduled meetings, these are NOT recorded and Commissioners do not answer any questions.
I started recording the meetings myself,. providing copies of the video segments to those that spoke. Many are posting these on social media. The regular board meetings receive between 200 and 300 views, where the social media postings receive thousands of views. People want to know what is going on, not just what the commission wants us to know.
Quality of Life

Quality of Life
Factories should be in areas designated and zoned for industrial. I led the fight to stop dangerous factories (hydrogen, lithium battery, solar photovoltaic) from being built in the middle of a residential area not appropriately zoned. We need jobs. But, we need jobs in the appropriate locations.
Education: Graduating seniors are provided tuition to Valencia College. Is that enough? Is it successful? Let’s evaluate and expand the program.
Parks: Zero County parks are in our District while there are 36 county parks in the rest of Osceola County. We need a County Commissioner who is an advocate for our needs not someone we have to fight for what’s right!
Safety

We need to feel safe in our homes, walking, and riding bikes. Pictured here is the ambulance transporting me after I was hit by a car while in a crosswalk on Pleasant Hill Road.
In 2023 on Pleasant Hill Road, there were 940 accidents (715 reported by the Osceola County Sheriff's office and 715 reported by the Florida Highway Patrol).
After moving here, our vehicle was broken into and items stolen. We were asked if we wanted to press charges, as the assailant had been identified. This should not even be a question. We were violated. We need more than just ocassional spot checks.

There are sufficient funds available but priorities are not aligned with needs. Over $6 million for Neovation Way. Do you commute everyday on Neovation Way?
The above image demonstrates how we do not have adequate representation for our district. In looking at the amounts budgeted, Pleasant Hill Road and Cypress Parkway received nothing and Marigold only received "safety improvements."
Looking beyond roads, $75 million for a new Arts Center was approved. Our current commissioner is the executive director, his day job, at the art center. He in essence voted to provide himself with a county funded, new workplace.
We struggle commuting everyday for work and school on our over crowded roadways. Transportation improvements in our District must be the priority. My day job and priority will be working for you.
