I want to be the Mayor that Atlantic Beach needs now by making sure that while we continue to be a great place to visit, we will be an even better place to live, work and raise our families.

As your Mayor I will make sure that those who want and need sidewalks will have them, that our streets are safe and that our quality of life is preserved and enhanced.

I look forward to meeting you and hearing your thoughts on how to make our city an even better place.

Thank you,
Curtis Ford

Friends,

For the past two years we have worked hard to make Atlantic Beach a better place to live, work and raise our families. I am proud of what our community has accomplished. We have paved many roads and made them safer, built a new splash park for our children and expanded our recycling program.

Now we find that the fight is with those that want to close our beloved Atlantic Beach Elementary School. My promise to you is to continue to work with our representative to the Duval County School Board and continue to attend and make your voice heard at every School Board meeting until this misguided plan has been abandoned.

Yes, there is still work to be done and I hope that I can count on your vote to finish the job.

Thank you,
Curtis
