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.
