Owner of Tijuana Flats Winter Springs Town Center

I am as excited as I can be to support Victoria Colangelo for Winter Springs City Commission District 2.  I like that Victoria is a successful small business owner who is not afraid to square off against the lies and false promises of our City’s recent past. She is smart, energetic, optimistic, and focused on returning Winter Springs to its once respected place in Seminole County through controlling growth, telling the truth, living up to her promises, and being unapologetic in representing the interests of her constituents.  That is why I am voting for Victoria Colangelo on November 8th.
