Official Profile
Religion: Publicly professed Christian — March 2024 Space Coast Daily Women's History Month quote: 'thankful for Grace, the precious gift of life, and my relationship with Jesus Christ, through which all things are possible' (denomination/specific church not identified in public sources)
Background: Dana Blickley is the elected constitutional officer Property Appraiser of Brevard County, Florida (Republican). First elected November 2012 defeating incumbent Jim Ford by 14 points in the GOP primary; re-elected unopposed in 2016, 2020, and 2024; current term runs through January 2029. Education: BA and MA in Public Administration, University of Central Florida. Certified Florida Appraiser (CFA). 30+ years in mass appraisal / assessment administration; worked 20 years inside BCPAO (fired in 2006 by then-incumbent Ford). Brevard County resident 30+ years; married with two children; father was a Marine. Civic: board member of National Veterans Homeless Support (NVHS) since 2012; established a scholarship endowment for veterans at Eastern Florida State College. 2012 candidacy backed by the Liberty Catalyst Fund (Republican Liberty Caucus of Central East Florida + Space Coast Patriots + Brevard 9/12 grassroots coalition). Active 2025 speaking circuit: Space Coast Patriots, Merritt Island civic groups, Viera Q&A, Republican Women's Federation.
Next Election Year: 2028
ARCHETYPE: Administrative constitutional officer (county property appraiser) with one HARD-cited Christian-faith profession but no other documented public positions on Pillar A/B cells. 1 HARD TRUE (christian_liberty.q0) + 0 FALSE = 100% on the single scoreable cell — sparse-data trap noted but evidence_local is honest given the cited single position. The administrative office (county property valuation under FL Statute 195) has no statutory engagement with abortion, marriage, education curricula, election ballots, law enforcement, immigration, or 2A — most rubric cells genuinely don't intersect her duties. HIGH BAR discipline preserved: her recurring homestead/SOH/portability education program (presents to Space Coast Patriots, Brevard 9/12, RUSH, Merritt Island civic groups, Viera Q&A) is administrative/statutory outreach — NOT affirmative anti-deficit / anti-tax-hike advocacy in the rubric's sense — so economic_stewardship.q2 left NULL not TRUE. 2023 budget-withholding dispute (Commissioner Tobia alleged FL Statute 195.087(1)(a) violation for not providing full FY23-24 budget to BoCC) was an inter-agency transparency dispute where she was the LESS-transparent party toward her local elected board — NOT scored as refuse_state_overreach subsidiarity (would be reverse of subsidiarity). Brevard BoCC denied $5,000 Space Coast Pride-Fest grant in 2025 (Commissioner Delaney) — county-level non-Pride posture but Blickley took no documented public position. Christian_liberty.q0 TRUE based on her own published 2024 quote about Jesus Christ relationship — this is hard evidence per the SKILL's 'public profession' definition. Conservative-coalition signal (Liberty Catalyst Fund 2012; ongoing Space Coast Patriots speaking) corroborates Republican identity but is not specific-cell evidence. Currency: re-elected unopposed Aug 2024 + 2025 speaking schedule = high-confidence still in office.

- [3]Blickley actively educates taxpayers on Homestead Exemption, Save Our Homes 3%/CPI assessment cap, and portability of up to $500,000 SOH benefit — but per the SKILL HIGH BAR rule this is administrative/statutory outreach (informing taxpayers of mandated state-law caps), NOT affirmative anti-deficit / anti-tax-hike advocacy in the rubric's sense. No documented Blickley vote/statement opposing specific Brevard BoCC budget or millage rate increase located.
