The choice is clear

Development

Phil​

  • Will fight to keep development in-scale and protect Winter Park’s heritage and charm

  • Will quickly complete the improved Orange Avenue Overlay

  • Will standardize up-zoning notices to residents and build consensus before controversial Commission votes

New Library and Financial Management 

​Phil

  • Supports a state-of-the-art Library but believes the project should have met the voter-approved
    budget and size: a $32 million project with a 50,000 square foot Library
    Phil will ensure that future projects are managed responsibly and transparently

​Opponent

  • Approved increasing the Library Project budget from $32 million to $42 million and shrinking
    the Library building size from 50,000 square feet to 36,000 square feet — $10 million more
    expensive and 30% smaller

City Commission Meeting 01/27/2020

Playing Fields and Parks

  • Saved Cady Way Park, added facilities at Lake Baldwin Park, saved the West Meadow for greenspace, expanded Shady Park, built WP Community Center, and co-founded the Winter

    Park Land Trust

  • Supports advance funding for our playing fields to improve conditions for our kids

Citizen Representation and Putting Residents First

​Phil

  • Supported Charter Amendment 7 in 2020, which allows the Mayor AND Commissioners to

    make Citizen Advisory Board Appointments

  • Will appoint board members who reflect our residents and our neighborhoods

​Opponent

  • Opposed Charter Amendment 7 and said it was trying to “fix a problem that doesn’t exist” — despite there being no people of color

    serving in any of our 120+ Citizen Advisory Board positions at the time

  • Opposed amendment being voted on by residents and

    believes ONLY the Mayor should make board appointments
