Positions

LiberalConservative

Economy & Taxes

Supports fiscal restraint and economic development incentives while opposing large unconditional tax-rebate packages; open to discussing property tax reform but emphasizes maintaining fiscal stability and the city’s current millage rate history. Prioritizes budgetary responsibility, seeking grants and private investment rather than broad tax increases.

Healthcare

Supports expanding local access to healthcare through city-led partnerships and redevelopment of the former Baptist Hospital site to restore and preserve healthcare services for the community. Has prioritized projects that aim to keep healthcare accessible to neighborhood residents and integrate healthcare facilities into city redevelopment plans.

Climate & Energy

As mayor, D.C. Reeves has supported municipal actions that enable natural-gas infrastructure and long-term gas transport agreements for Pensacola Energy, and his administration has continued use and management of the city-owned natural gas utility. There are no strong public records showing support for aggressive emissions targets or Green New Deal–style policies.

Public Safety & Guns

The candidate emphasizes strengthening public safety by investing in police resources and technology (e.g., ShotSpotter, Flock cameras), increasing pay for police and fire personnel, and supporting law-enforcement-led responses to crime. Public-safety actions focus on policing and surveillance tools rather than proposing new firearm restrictions.
