I am deeply grateful to the leadership and staff of the National Association of Counties for putting on a successful annual convention in Hillsborough County, FL. Your hard work and dedication made this event a resounding success, providing valuable opportunities for learning, collaboration, and growth.

I am also honored to announce my re-appointment as Vice-Chair to the NACo Transportation Policy Steering Committee. I extend my heartfelt thanks to Chair Commissioner Eileen Higgins for her continued leadership and unwavering commitment to advancing our transportation initiatives. I look forward to working alongside such a dedicated team to address the critical transportation issues facing our counties.

Thank you, NACo, for fostering an environment of innovation and cooperation. Together, we will continue to make meaningful strides in improving our communities.

As County Judge, I unequivocally denounce any form of political violence. Our democracy thrives when we engage in peaceful discourse, respecting differing opinions, and seeking common ground. Let us resolve our differences through dialogue, not aggression. Healthy debate is essential for progress. However, we must engage in conversations that elevate our community rather than tear it apart.

Together, we can build a stronger, more resilient community. Let us move forward with compassion, empathy, and a shared commitment to our county's and nation’s well-being.
