Frankie Burnett (Incumbent)
I am a servant. It is who I am, this is apart of my DNA. I am a positive leader and will continue to think progressively for Brooksville. I will continue to advocate for participatory democracy that seeks the inclusion of many and diverse constituents. I believe that the city should continue to be a full service city that has its own police and fire departments. I have heard the concerns of the citizens and I will advocate to install side walks along North Avenue. I will also continue to support the South Brooksville Vision Plan. It has been amazing and humbling to see so many volunteers through the Brooksville Vision Foundation, The Florida Blueberry Festival, and now the new Main Street Program, step forward to donate time, money, and themselves because they care and are committed to Brooksville. I join them in building a prosperous future. I will continue to support all their efforts that are made selflessly because we believe in building a better tomorrow for our city. I will continue to represent those I serve and not my own self serving ideas. I will always believe in People Over Politics.
