Supporting Jason Bailey for City Council

It is without reservation that I am supporting Jason Bailey for Marco Island City Council.

I’ve known Jason for over 12 years while living on Marco Island. He built my first home back in 2014 and then another home for me in 2021. My experience working with him was nothing but positive and professional.

Since that time, I’ve had the opportunity to observe Jason in his role as Chair of the Marco Island Planning Board, and how he clearly places the community first while simultaneously achieving an analytical-based and pragmatic conclusion when weighing tough decisions. Jason has clearly demonstrated the ability to stay in tune with the residents’ concerns when reviewing matters and issues before the Planning Board. I’m confident that he will handle his role on City Council in the same manner.

In fact, his voting record on the Planning Board speaks for itself. He’s opposed excessive variances, obscure site uses, and questionable site plans that would intrude upon residents’ quality of life. At the same time, he has supported projects by reasonable-minded business owners whose proposals are consistent with our codes. This type of balanced perspective is what we need.

Lastly, Jason also commands an impressive knowledge of our City’s Land Development Code, Comprehensive Plan, and Charter. He certainly won’t require any on-the-job training!

For all of these reasons, I’m pleased to support Jason Bailey to be a Marco Island City Councilor, and I hope you’ll join me.
