Mayor Deegan is not afraid to take on the tough issues. And she does it by finding common ground to bring people together…..to find solutions!! #gettingitdone
Now: @MayorDeegan is on her way to Washington to attend @POTUS White House announcement today on a new national office on gun violence prevention. She will also work to bring home more federal grant dollars for the @CityofJax. news4jax.com/news/local/2023…
What an amazing woman!! I had the great blessing of working with her for many years in Springfield. She helped raise the bar high for development and was a dedicated advocate for preservation and collaboration. Her legacy will live on for many years. Will miss her great smile!!
Rita Reagan, key figure in Jacksonville's historic preservation legacy, has passed away. We remember her as a 25+ year neighbor, advocate, & SPAR President/Dir who lead our community thru challenges. Her huge impact also includes founding @NormanStudios.

Reflecting on the tragedy at Sandy Hook -it’s important to note that guns are now the No. 1 cause of deaths among American children/teens, ahead of car crashes, injuries and congenital diseases. In the decade after Sandy Hook Americans purchased 150m guns. static01.nyt.com/images/2022…
And John, I so very much appreciate your voice standing with the LGBQT community!
Peaceful-nonviolent protests have been the cornerstone of important change and legislation in our country. “Freedom” must go both ways. Very slippery slope here. tallahassee.com/story/news/2…
