Positions
Economy & Taxes
Supports lowering or avoiding increases in local taxes for residents and small businesses, and prioritizes cutting what she describes as wasteful spending and developer incentives while reallocating existing city funds to neighborhoods and services. Opposes tax increases to fund her priorities and emphasizes smart budgeting and transparency. Seeks reduced tax abatements and fewer expensive developer handouts rather than raising revenue through higher taxes.
Healthcare
Ann Hill’s campaign platform emphasizes expanding local mental-health and rehabilitation services and acting as a liaison for those services; she also has a professional background leading the Emerald Coast Healthcare Coalition focused on regional healthcare preparedness. There are no explicit statements on federal healthcare policy (e.g., ACA expansion, Medicare for All, privatization) in the found campaign materials.

Abortion & Reproductive Rights
The candidate supports legal access to abortion and describes having sought an illegal abortion before Roe v. Wade as a motivating experience for her women’s-rights advocacy; she frames restrictions on abortion as disproportionately harming poor women.
Climate & Energy
Supports local environmental restoration and resilience measures (living shorelines, water-quality improvement, shoreline and park restoration) and emphasizes protecting waterfronts and natural habitats as part of city policy. Focus is on conservation, infrastructure for resilience, and neighborhood-level environmental improvements rather than fossil-fuel expansion or climate skepticism.
Public Safety & Guns
Ann Hill’s campaign materials prioritize public-safety investments—supporting first responders, creating a mental-health liaison and expanding youth programs and safer streets—but do not state a clear position on firearms policy or specific gun regulations. Available public statements and her campaign platform emphasize public-safety services and mental-health responses rather than explicit gun-control or gun-rights proposals.
