COMMON SENSE CONSERVATIVE WITH UNCOMMON ABILITIES

Rebecca previously served as one of your commissioners during the most difficult economic downturns in a generation which was exacerbated by the closing of the nuclear power plant, millions in losses to the tax base, and the 600 high-wage jobs it took with it. She has the experience to make the tough decisions to keep essential services intact, stabilized county government, and set us on a path to success. We can count on Rebecca Bays to be the common sense conservative who will get things done and look out for us.

KEEP THE NATURE COAST THE NATURE COAST

We are blessed to live here, with an abundance of natural treasures that improve our quality of life. Rebecca Bays is an avid bow hunter and outdoor enthusiast who understands the vital link between our environment and our economy.

PRIORITIZE PUBLIC SAFETY

Count on Rebecca Bays to be our crime fighter on the County Commission, to partner with local law enforcement and provide our deputies with the tools they need to stay one step ahead of those that pray on the vulnerable. Expect Bays to sound the alarm for disaster preparedness, too, ensuring that adequate hurricanes shelters and supplies are readily available for seniors and citizens with special needs.

PROMOTE SMART ECONOMIC GROWTH

As a small business owner and self-made success, Rebecca knows first-hand how it feels to open and run a business in Citrus County. You can count on Rebecca's experience to make the right decisions and focus on the assets we have that make us unique to attract good jobs by putting together a world-class economic development team comprised of local businesses, retired executives, and business organizations.

STRATEGIC BUDGETING & PLANNING

Rebecca will seek to set up 5-year strategic budget projections that set our priorities, propose budget reforms that allow for greater transparency and accountability, and invest money created from new growth into infrastructure that has been long neglected.
