Why should voters vote for you?
No one else has the same passion for Sarasota’s environment or the long term future here at heart. I work closely with local nurseries, gardens, and communities on improving habitat and know what Sarasota wants and needs. I am a young scientist who is working on the cutting edge of environmental science and can usher Sarasota into the future. If people want to fight back against Red Tide, and Climate Change while protecting our local wildlife and agricultural communities then they will vote for Sean Patton for the best of both worlds.
If elected, what are your top priorities?
My priorities are clean water, native habitat, and protecting local farmers and nurseries during the COVID pandemic and expanding local access to statewide or federal resources.
