Background: City Council, District 6, St. Petersburg — elected Nov 2017, re-elected Nov 2021; term expires Jan 2027 (term-limited under St. Pete two-consecutive-term charter). 2020 + 2021 Vice Chair; 2022 Chair of Council.

[2026-06 RESOLUTE refinement] Roster verified: District 6 St. Petersburg, term expires Jan 2027 (two-term limit; stpete.org). HARD evidence: voted YES in committee to advance a $50K grant to the Tampa Bay Abortion Fund + reproductive-health resolution (Creative Loafing Tampa) — sanctity_of_life q0/q1 FALSE; later voted no at full council citing litigation risk under FL law, not pro-life conviction ('a risk I'm not willing to take when we have other ways to reach the same goal,' Tampa Bay Times). Endorsed by Equality Florida Action PAC, sponsored creation of city LGBTQ Small Business Enterprise category — biblical_marriage q0 FALSE (Watermark, Florida Politics). SPONSORED the 2025 Harmony Flag / Pride city-flag resolution to fly Pride colors on city property despite state DEI preemption (WFLA, WUSF) — biblical_marriage q2 FALSE. Publicly defended adult drag performance at Mahaffey Theater ('It's an art form … I've always enjoyed drag shows') — biblical_marriage q4 FALSE (Tampa Bay Times via Yahoo). Equality-FL endorsement + drag-access defense extend to family_child_sovereignty q2 FALSE. As 2022 Council Chair defended the FY23 budget that carried a ~13% effective tax increase (~$20.5M more revenue, St. Pete Catalyst) — economic_stewardship q2 FALSE. PLAINTIFF with City of St. Petersburg in lawsuit against state firearm-preemption penalties — self_defense q0 FALSE (Florida Politics). 2025 budget no-vote was a MORE-spending dissent (Fire Rescue), not fiscal restraint. NO documented direct positions on schools curriculum/notification, election administration, immigration enforcement, christian-liberty cells, or public_justice cells (homeless-camping ordinance does not satisfy 'magistrate's sword' framing) — those cells null. NO church/faith affiliation found in any source.
