Issues

What does a Supervisor of Elections do?

  • Decides when and where you can vote
  • Processes your voter registration and updates
  • Validates petitions for special issues 
  • Provides you with information about voting
  • Manages city and county candidates and their financial reports
  • Protects the security of the voting equipment you use

Need More Than Minimum Hours

During the primaries, Seminole County has the minimum number of early voting days and hours allowed by law. Orange and Osceola offer twice as many hours for early voting.

Stop Spending on Self-Promotion

I would not use the supervisor of elections office to promote my name on car wraps, signs, stickers, the Voter Guide, etc., and I would not pay marketing consultants to develop these materials. 

Make Sure All Items Are on the Ballot

In 2022, the Supervisor of Elections forgot to put a charter amendment for Oviedo on the ballot. Ultimately, the vote was delayed for a full year. See article at oviedocommunitynews.org

Live Person Should Answer Calls

When voters call during business hours, the phones should be answered by a live person - not a 30-second long infomercial that promotes the current supervisor of elections. 

Spanish Translations Need to Be Visible

All Spanish translations should be in a font that is easily legible. The Spanish option on the phone should be provided immediately - not after 30 seconds of talking in English. 

Fix the Website

The supervisor of elections website is confusing and lacks menu options to help voters find what they need. Most of the voting information is buried in the FAQs under the About tab, making voters scroll endlessly to find what they need. 

 Provide Early Voting at SSC

SSC should have early voting on campus, like UCF and Valencia College. Instead, the supervisor of elections puts our county's extra early voting location in random places that change every election. 

Prepaid Postage for Vote by Mail

Two stamps should never be a barrier to voting. Plus, postage is only charged for the ballots that are actually mailed back. This is a small cost with a large benefit to voters, especially for senior citizens and students. 

Keep Polls Open on Sunday

We need early voting on the last Sunday before Election Day for every election. This is Souls to the Polls Sunday, and an important day for many working people to vote.

Educate High School Students

Our high school students should be fully prepared to vote the day they turn 18. I would bring official voting equipment for to the high schools for student government elections so students have experience with voting in person.

Clean Voter Rolls 

I would make sure voter rolls are accurate and complete. I would make every effort to contact inactive voters to ensure they are not removed mistakenly. Florida should have stayed enrolled in the ERIC system to keep voter rolls up-to-date.

Respect Poll Watchers 

Poll watchers are unpaid volunteers who observe voting operations. In Seminole County, poll watchers are required to wear large orange signs that show their name, address, and date of birth. This exposes their personal information and makes voters uncomfortable.
