Issues & Platform
Private-Sector Accountability for Public Funds.
The Pasco County Mosquito Control District is an independent taxing authority with an annual budget that has skyrocketed to over $22 million — funded entirely by your property taxes. As a business consultant and veteran, I believe that any agency managing millions of your hard-earned dollars requires fierce, independent corporate oversight.
Free-Market Procurement
Ending No-Bid Contracts
Government agencies often fall victim to fiscal laziness, relying on pre-approved state lists instead of forcing vendors to compete. Recently, this board sat by and allowed a $400,000 vehicle procurement contract to be executed without a single competitive local bid.
Stop rubber-stamping state lists. We will open the doors to the free market, force vendors to compete to drive down costs, and keep Pasco County tax dollars right here in our local community.
I will mandate a strict Request for Proposal (RFP) process for all major capital expenditures and fleet acquisitions.

Greg's Commitments
- Mandate competitive RFP processes for all major capital expenditures
- Eliminate no-bid, state-list procurement for fleet and equipment acquisitions
- Require public disclosure of all procurement decisions over $10,000
- Prioritize local Pasco County vendors in the competitive bidding process
- Conduct a full audit of existing vendor contracts for compliance and value
Operational Discipline & Professional Accountability
No More Running from the Consequences
When elected officials make bad decisions — wasteful spending, failed policies, budget messes — the accountability should follow them. Instead, some politicians in Pasco County have made a habit of jumping to a different board mid-term, leaving their constituents holding the bag while they escape the consequences of their own record.
This isn't ambition. It's avoidance. And Pasco County taxpayers deserve better than officials who disappear the moment the hard questions start getting asked.
I will bring my 20+ years of corporate operations and fleet logistics experience to conduct a thorough, ground-up audit of the district's ballooning $22M budget, executive compensation metrics, and capital reserves — and I will stay to see it through.
Hold officials accountable for the decisions they made — not let them flee to a new seat and start fresh. Every elected position is a commitment to the people who voted for you, not an escape hatch from your own record.
Greg's Commitments
- Commit to serving the full elected term — no mid-term seat abandonment
- Demand accountability for past board decisions before endorsing any transition
- Conduct a ground-up audit of the district's $22M budget and capital reserves
- Review executive compensation metrics against private-sector benchmarks
- Bring continuity and institutional accountability to board decision-making
Open Government & Taxpayer Accessibility
Meetings When the Public Can Actually Attend
A transparent government is only useful if it is actually accessible. The board currently schedules its monthly meetings for 9:00 AM on weekdays — a time specifically designed to exclude working families, small business owners, and commuting taxpayers from participating.
Treat the taxpayers like the true shareholders they are. If you hold public meetings when the public is working, you are running a closed club — not an open government.
I am 100% committed to proposing and voting to move monthly meeting times to 4:00 PM or later. I will also fight to implement a comprehensive hybrid system to stream, record, and accept digital public comments for all public proceedings.

Greg's Commitments
- Move monthly board meetings to 4:00 PM or later — no exceptions

- Create a public-facing dashboard tracking district spending and contract awards
The Stakes for Pasco County
"We don't solve political or operational disagreements by letting government run on autopilot."
I spent my military career defending the checks and balances of our constitutional Republic, and I will use my business career to protect your wallet. Pasco County deserves an executive watchdog on this board — not a passenger.
