Chad for Lakeland

I started podcasting back in September to share some of the conversations I’ve had with Lakeland voters and give people insights into my thoughts on different issues. I invite you to join me and listen to this 10th and final episode before the Dec. 3 runoff election. Topics this week:  -Shoutouts to The Yard on Mass and The Joinery -Takeaways from this week’s event with the Florida Commission on the Status of Women -Thoughts on continuing the podcast as a city commissioner

Thank you, Lakeland voters, for your votes on Tuesday! I'm honored to have received 40% of the vote, and I'm excited about the runoff on Dec. 3.On this 9th episode of the podcast, I share some thoughts and conversations I've had with residents recently about how we make Lakeland a place where college graduates and young professionals will want to live, work and raise their families in the years ahead.

On the last episode before the election on Nov. 5, I'm asking for your vote and for the honor of serving as Lakeland's next at-large city commissioner. Plus I'm joined by a special guest, Lakeland resident Nancy McLeod, who is also my mom, as we talk about my early influences for public service and what she hopes to see me accomplish as a city commissioner.

On this week's episode, I'm discussing several topics from our most recent candidate forum, including education, my vision for a research park near Florida Poly, our city's approach to economic development and more.

On this week's episode, I'm talking about downtown development and my vision for the future of downtown Lakeland. I also discuss civic engagement and voter turnout for the upcoming election.

In this week's episode, I'm talking about several statewide issues with local implications for Lakeland, including population growth, roads + infrastructure, and affordable housing.

In this week's episode, I talk about my vision for Lakeland's future, with a focus on smart + sustainable government. Plus I share my thoughts on the proposed road diet plan for South Florida Avenue and end the episode with the story of how I learned to speak Spanish.

I would be honored to sit down and have coffee with each of you to discuss the exciting future of this city we get to call home. Until then, here’s a short podcast so I can share with you personally why I 'm running to represent you as your Lakeland City Commissioner. Also, go Gators! And Noles? #ChadForLKLD #lkld
