Polk County, we are calling for a significant and much-needed pause. As a candidate for this district, I am running with a passion rooted in the reality our community faces daily. We are exhausted by a government that continues to ignore the voices of its own people. Our resources, vital to our state's welfare, are being depleted by incoming data centers that prioritize profit over the survival and sustainability of our community.

It's time for genuine change in Florida; it's time to prioritise the needs of our residents over the interests of these large corporations. Our community simply cannot afford to lose the resources that are essential to our daily lives, like water, energy, and land. This is a call to action for all who care about the future of our state. We need to focus on issues that directly impact our quality of life, such as health care, education, and infrastructure.

We propose a 24-month temporary moratorium on the establishment of new data centers in Polk County. This moratorium will give us the breathing space necessary to tackle more critical challenges facing our state. During this period, we can reassess zoning laws and find a more balanced approach that places genuine community issues at the forefront.

I urge you to join me in this fight. Together, we can send a powerful message to our lawmakers that we will no longer stand by while our government's priorities are misaligned with the actual needs of its people. By signing this petition, you are standing up for Florida's future – a future where the community's voice is respected, heard, and valued over external corporate interests.

Now is the time to act. Please sign this petition and help us demand a 24-month moratorium on new data centers. Let us prioritize the lives and health of Florida's residents above all else.
