My participation in local government started when Kevin Cannon knocked on my door in 2018 campaigning for the last election…. He spoke with me about the local issues and how he was against development. He spent 45 minutes with me that day on my front porch. It was a nice conversation.
A few days later I received a cease and desist letter from Kevin Cannon with a stack of paper highlighting his arrest for hitting his wife. Along with his demand letter, was a request for my homeowners insurance, my guess as a threat to sue me. At the time I had no idea why I was receiving this letter.
That is when I realized it was time to for me to get involved in more city government. I would not let this bully scare me or anyone else again.
I then started listening to the city commission meetings online and noticed many things that didn’t add up. The FDEP consent orders, the revolving door at Police Chief, Director of Utilities and Public Works positions. All of these things were a concern.
I started attending more meetings in person, and each time I did, I was targeted and singled out in some way. Cannon would either make reference to me or a member of the audience, an obvious Cannon supporter, would harass me in some way. Sitting really close to me, look over my shoulder or take videos and pictures of me sitting in the audience. All attempts to intimidate me.
When I am elected, it will be safe once again to participate in local government meetings without fear of being bullied or singled out.
In 2007, The Orange County Sheriff’s Office Found Probable Cause to Believe Cannon “Committed Aggravated Battery With A Weapon” and Battery (Domestic Violence)”
