“As Mayor Pro Tem of Jacksonville Beach, I have had the privilege of working alongside Mayor Curtis Ford on the issues that matter most to our beaches communities. Curtis leads with the same steady character he has shown throughout his life, from his roots as a Fletcher High School Senator to his serving families though Beaches Habitat for Humanity. After years in law enforcement, I know what it looks like when a leader takes public safety seriously, and Curtis has backed his officers and kept his community’s safety at the front of every decision. His record speaks for itself: safer streets, smart investment in infrastructure, and a genuine commitment to putting Atlantic Beach residents first.Our cities are neighbors, and our futures are linked. Atlantic Beach is in good hands with Curtis Ford, and I am proud to endorse him.”
-Dan Janson, Mayor Pro Tem, Jacksonville Beach City Council

“With Tax Reform on the horizon, the shape of local municipalities is certain to change. These shifts will need steadfast fiscal planning, creative problem solving, knowledge and experience of our government and organizational structure, and strong leadership to guide small cities like ours through communication and partnership with our sister beach cities, COJ, state and federal levels. Mayor Ford has spent the last 4 years building these bridges. It was through his leadership that Atlantic Beach received federal funds for beach walkovers and COJ Funds for lifeguard station improvements. Furthermore, Mayor Ford has been working on the Interlocal Agreement, which includes tough conversations for out Fire contract and other county services, with the city of Jacksonville. These negotiations are crucial for our citizens and for the future of this city. I trust Mayor Ford’s leadership to carry us through these impactful changes ahead. Give him another term to finish the work he started.”
-Jessica Ring, Commissioner, City of Atlantic Beach Commission
