Common Sense Leadership, Proven Results
Hold the line on property taxes and county fees, make developers pay for the infrastructure their projects require, and reject the waste that drives up household bills.
Commissioner Peters believes in keeping taxes low while performing the core functions of government. She was the only Pinellas County Commissioner to oppose raising taxes on residents in 2021, and she opposes the proposed gas-tax increase.
Manage growth on residents' terms: welcoming projects that fit our character, rejecting out-of-control development and industrial data centers, and making infrastructure catch up first.
As Pinellas County continues to grow, we must balance the needs of our community with the preservation of its natural green space. Communities cannot thrive without sound infrastructure, and Kathleen has been a vocal advocate for upgrading our wastewater and stormwater systems so growth never outpaces the services families rely on.
Fight for beach nourishment funding, protect the Tampa Bay Estuary and our waterways, and plan for storm resilience before the next hurricane season, not after.
As Pinellas County's representative on the Tampa Bay Water Board of Directors, Kathleen fights for consumers by protecting water sources and ensuring oversight of water treatment. She has supported the acquisition of critical environmental lands for conservation and fought to keep Bunces Pass open to boaters.
Back our first responders and finish the behavioral-health system of care Kathleen built, so Pinellas families in crisis get treatment instead of jail.
Public safety is the core function of local government. Kathleen strongly supports giving our law enforcement officers, firefighters, and EMS professionals the resources they need. Because of her leadership, Pinellas County is moving closer to a coordinated “no wrong door” model that moves treatment for mental illness and addiction out of the criminal justice system and into health care.
Pinellas County deserves a proven, common-sense leader who keeps taxes low, supports our families, and protects our beaches and water.
