Greater Naples is growing faster than almost anywhere in the state and growth doesn't wait for a fire truck to catch up. Fire Commissioner Patrick Dearborn has spent his time in office making sure our district's response capacity, staffing, and stations keep pace with the families moving in and the neighborhoods expanding around them.
This event is your chance to hear it straight from him, not a mailer, not a soundbite, but a real conversation about where the district stands and what's next.
Patrick brings a perspective most candidates simply don't have: 82nd Airborne veteran, longtime Collier County planning voice, and a Fire Commissioner who has already been in the room making the hard budget and growth calls. He understands both the operational side of fire rescue and the long-term planning side of a county changing this fast.
Every seat you fill tonight is a seat that helps sustain the campaign needed to keep that experience at the table. Property tax reform, population surges, and shifting service demands aren't hypotheticals for this district; they're this year's budget conversation. Show up, ask your questions directly, and be part of keeping steady, seasoned leadership on the Board when Collier County needs it most.
