What’s at stake in this election

Clearwater has a five-member City Council. A third vote creates a majority—and could put City Hall in Scientology’s hands.

This election is a turning point. Clearwater has a five-member City Council, so three votes create a governing majority. If Scientology controls that third vote, it can get virtually anything it wants from City Hall.

Your vote decides who controls the council: the people of Clearwater or Scientology. I’m running to keep that power in residents’ hands.
