South Tampa
Flooding, drainage and infrastructure that actually works.
South Tampa, I know you’ve been waiting a long time for real help.
You deserve more than talking points and temporary fixes. You deserve solutions that protect your homes, your streets, and the neighborhoods you love.
I’m not coming to you with slogans.
I’m coming to listen, to plan carefully, and to finally follow through.
Tired of the talk, ready for action?
Here are some of the things South Tampa residents are telling me:
“It floods every time it rains.”
“Nothing ever really gets fixed.”
Living with flooding, aging drainage, and damaged roads should not be normal.
And it doesn’t have to stay this way.
With the right priorities and responsible investment, we can finally bring lasting solutions to South Tampa.
Prioritizing and fixing drainage the right way
One of the biggest challenges here is outdated stormwater infrastructure.
Heavy rain should never mean water in your streets, damage to your homes, or fear every time the forecast changes.
Before we keep throwing money at flooding, we need to know what is actually failing—pipes, drains, capacity, maintenance or all of the above—and fix the problem at its source.
Not quick patches, but real infrastructure that protects families and property for years to come.
Why this matters to me
South Tampa isn’t just another part of the map to me.
I grew up here. I know these streets. I understand the pride people feel in their neighborhoods—and the frustration when problems go ignored.
You deserve leadership that pays attention, follows through, and keeps residents at the center of every decision.
That’s the kind of leadership I’m committed to bringing from day one.
