| Nekhaila looks to tackle the issues which impact District 4 and Key West: Workers and families are leaving due to skyrocketing rent. Changing policy to increase density and legalize accessory dwellings will create additional revenue for homeowners and decrease rent. As inflation continues to increase, the City must prioritize spending on infrastructure and Emergency Services. Cutting the fat from unnecessary expenditures will allow us to stop increasing the millage rates, stabilizing rents. As the only candidate in the hospitality industry, he oversee 12 businesses, 5 in the Keys, he has experience to keep the Keys business friendly which will keep tourist revenue coming in. A strong tourist industry means less tax burden on residents. Nekhaila looks forward to the campaign trail: Nekhaila is preparing for his campaign with a ‘sense of urgency’, “With the current housing crises and economic uncertainty surrounding inflation, a pending recession, and market crash, the work my campaign is doing is more pertinent than ever. I look forward to connecting with voters and officials over the next few months and hearing your story,” said Steven. The people of District 4 need a new approach, not the status quo.
