  About Alyson McCullough – Candidate for District 4

I am running because I know I can bring the type of leadership to our County that is lacking in today’s politics both locally and nationally. As a wife, mother, educator, and taxpayer – I’ve seen the progress that has been made in Nassau County but also see what remains to be done for us to continue to not just survive but thrive. Government works best when it works for all of its residents. I am committed to encouraging citizen participation, preserving our county’s character, and providing jobs. As the State of Florida’s Agriculture Advocate of the year in 2021 it is evident that conserving environmentally sensitive land and our natural resources is a priority for me. I will work to provide fiscally responsible solutions to meet all of our citizens’ needs and support resilient police, EMS, and fire departments. My love and commitment to Nassau County is unquestionable. We don’t need another good ol boy politician in Nassau County, we need one of us. With your vote on August 23rd we can help to shape the future of Nassau County, so that every resident is part of the team. It is only together that we can keep this the Nassau We Know and Love. Thank you and God bless.
