Buck Mitchell gave his first interview since pre-filing for County Commission District 4 on WCOA’s “Real News with Rick Outzen.”
“Robert did a great job representing District 4, and we really feel that District 4 is one of the most important aspects of our county government with Pensacola Beach being such a strategic place in our county,” Mitchell said. “We’re going to jump in and keep the momentum that Robert established – and before him, Grover – of looking out after our citizens and keeping this momentum going.”
He continued, “We’re going to focus on making sure that this community is safe and secure. I’m a hospitality person and it all kind of works together, but it all starts with safety and security. When tourists come in town and they don’t feel safe and they’re not coming back, or when people drive around and they see trash and blight and vagrancy, they don’t feel safe. Then being a pro-business person, when they don’t feel safe and it’s not clean, they might not bring their business here. We’re going to work on those issues and make sure that we are forward driven on our business development. But safety and security certainly will be first.”
