Orange County Commissioner candidate Chris Delgado will kick off his “Community First” campaign with a local event open to area residents from 6pm-9pm on July 13th. The fun festivities will be held at the Apopka Community Center and feature complimentary live music, beverages and catered food that is open to the public. Delgado will be at the event to meet and connect with voters and kick off his campaign.
Delgado teased he will share his stance on the immediate issues of sales tax and rent control currently facing the Orange County community.
“Recently, current County Commissioner Christine Moore has voted for the sales tax to be on the fall 2022 ballot, while standing against rent control – both despite the voice and needs of area residents and several current county commissioners,” Delgado’s campaign said in a release.
“My Community First campaign is focused on the people of Orange County because I’ve been part of the community in the region,” said Delgado. “I’ve seen firsthand how the community’s needs and requests are neglected by our elected officials and the decisions made. As county commissioner, my goal is to help change this.”
Delgado says his “Community First” campaign focus puts priority and importance on area residents and brings much-needed community representation to the city’s leadership. He says he is an entrepreneur and local sponsor and that he has “played a dynamic part in the region across commerce, the city, and community,” making him qualified for County Commissioner.
“I love Orange County and the incredible community and people here,” he added. “There’s enormous benefit to putting our people and businesses first. It’s time that our city leadership returns to this.”
