Meet Hazel

In the 2020 General Election, I was a candidate for Mayor of Melbourne.  I came in second, receiving 11,401 votes (27.89%) out of the   four  candidates in the race.  I was also the only candidate to be endorsed by Florida Today Newspaper.  I am once again seeking this office because I believe I have the natural ability to inspire and a proven dedicated  rich history track record of public service.  I am the leader Melbourne needs to navigate the challenges of today and build a brighter future for tomorrow.  I am stepping forward to run for mayor to give the citizens another choice.
