We’re celebrating #IDigJax with a scavenger hunt! We’re hiding 5 miniature Rexies all over the city. Stay tuned to our social media channels for clues to find the first one. If you find him, post it on social media with the hashtags #IDigJax and #RexMarkstheSpot. Happy hunting!

Today I vetoed a controversial immigration bill that puts our city’s legal standing, public safety, public health, and economy in jeopardy. This bill duplicates state and federal laws that we are already following, and it puts us at risk of costly lawsuits. (2/2) youtu.be/_DyE9EfrEaU

There's a saying in stroke treatment that "time is brain." With the recent unveiling of the Mobile Stroke Treatment Unit with UF Health Jax & the JFRD, trained professionals are now able to bring the hospital to the patient to save those precious minutes for a rapid diagnosis. youtu.be/y4MiOhMby_M

Creativity, collaboration, commitment, and compassion. Those are qualities we must keep in our hearts and minds as we make housing more affordable for ALL our neighbors. I was thrilled to join the Jacksonville Housing Authority this morning to break ground on 5 affordable homes in Durkeeville. (1/2)

I love the smell of a new poll in the morning! Especially one showing Mayor Deegan near 62% approval. All gas no brakes for the next two years as we keep getting things done for Duval. www.jacksonville.com/story/news/l...

If we want good people to continue serving on our volunteer boards, we’ve got to be better. I’ve watched with dismay the attacks on Elizabeth Andersen, a lifelong public servant who I appointed to the library board. The attacks are personal, fabricated and unacceptable. youtu.be/MRmFnJa4PC8

It was great to welcome developers, engineers, and designers to the Public Works Permitting Forums this week. Attendees were able to get updates on the exciting changes to the Civil Plan Review and permitting process. In business, time is money and we are so excited to help people get to work.

Whenever you can combine two of my passions, running and reading, that makes for a perfect day. Thanks to Spring Park Elementary for inviting me to participate in their "Booking It" running & reading club. I hope the students enjoy the books they picked out from the River City Readers Bookmobile!

I’m heartbroken to see the tragedy unfolding at FSU today. As an alum who also had a child at Florida State, my heart goes out to the families and students terrorized by this senseless act of violence. I’m continuing to monitor the news out of Tallahassee and my prayers are with everyone there.

Godspeed to former President Jimmy Carter, a man who defined what it means to be a servant leader. His was a life well lived. I will never forget Sunday School with him at Marantha Baptist Church in 2019. His lessons of pursuing peace and committing acts of kindness ring just as true today.
