McDonald's experience gives him clear edge!

He's also fought for local transportation projects at the regional Metropolitan Planning Organization, which gives him a much better understanding of the traffic and parking issues than his opponent.

City of Stuart once again taking the lead for improved water quality!!!

Stuart, Florida, is taking significant strides in water quality management by advocating for updated regulations on toxic pollutants and harmful algal blooms. The Center for Biological Diversity, in collaboration with local and national environmental groups, has petitioned the EPA to modernize its outdated list of regulated toxic pollutants under the Clean Water Act. This list has not seen updates in 47 years, despite the emergence of numerous harmful chemicals such as PFAS, which pose severe health risks. Additionally, efforts in Stuart focus on addressing cyanotoxins produced by harmful algal blooms, which can lead to serious health issues. These initiatives demonstrate Stuart’s commitment to protecting both environmental and public health by pushing for more rigorous water quality standards.
