About Kevin<\/h1>\n
<\/span>
<\/span>Since making Fort Lauderdale his home, Kevin has been a passionate advocate for our city.\u00a0 He organized a group of individuals concerned about bad public policy to object to a planning and zoning exception to a proposed micro-housing project by AHF.\u00a0 This multi-year effort led to a successful outcome with AHF not moving forward with its project.\u00a0 In addition, Kevin led public awareness, education, and advocacy to make water and infrastructure #1 priorities for our Mayor and City Commission.<\/span><\/p>\nMission & Values<\/h1>\n
