Where She Stands

Sarasota First — Infrastructure Before Overdevelopment. County commissioners decide how your tax dollars are spent, how fast Sarasota grows, and whether government answers to residents. Kristina's platform is built to protect sarasota families, help reduce my tax burden, and deliver the real accountability Sarasota families deserve — starting on Day One.

Sarasota First — Infrastructure Before Overdevelopment

Smart Growth & Infrastructure

Sarasota First

Sarasota's growth can't outrun its roads, water, and services. Kristina will put Sarasota first — infrastructure before overdevelopment, not blank checks for projects residents never voted on.

  • Roads and stormwater that keep up with new development
  • Impact fees and planning that protect neighborhood character
  • Growth decisions made with residents, not just developers

Accountability for Every Tax Dollar in Sarasota

Accountability for Every Tax Dollar

County spending has climbed while Sarasota families tighten their belts. As a former prosecutor, Kristina will demand a full accounting of where your money goes — and cut the waste.

  • Independent audit of county spending and contracts
  • Public scrutiny before major appropriations
  • Fiscal discipline that respects the taxpayer

I think it's a priority problem.

Why I'm Running

Kristina Sargent's promise to Sarasota families

I think it's a priority problem.

Kristina Sargent, WSLR News

This isn't politics for me. It's about protecting Sarasota families, helping reduce your tax burden, and making sure every dollar fixes roads and stormwater before it funds bureaucracy — so we can save our Sarasota for the next generation.

Protecting Families

Neighborhoods that flood, water we share, and deputies who keep us safe — county government should protect what matters most to your family, not excuse decades of neglect.

  • Stormwater & flood-prone streets
  • Public safety resources
  • Neighborhood character

Your Pocketbook

County spending has outrun your paycheck. Kristina will audit every dollar, cut waste, and stop the accounting tricks that raise your bill while politicians claim they cut taxes.

  • Independent spending audit
  • Fiscal discipline first
  • Lower burden where waste ends

Sarasota's Future

Infrastructure before overdevelopment. Responsible growth that hands our children a Sarasota they can afford — not a debt note and flooded streets they inherit.

  • Roads & water before sprawl
  • Regional review of big projects
  • Sarasota first, always

Responsible Growth, Responsible Government

Transparent & Accountable Government

Responsible growth demands responsible government. Kristina will push for open books, public hearings on major spending, and commissioners who answer to Sarasota residents.

  • Open books and accessible county financial data
  • Meaningful public input on big-ticket items
  • Commissioners accountable to District 2 voters

You don't have to like a law — but you have to follow it.

Protecting Sarasota's Neighborhoods, Water, and Future

Public Safety

Protecting Sarasota's neighborhoods starts with backing the badge. Kristina has stood in courtrooms protecting victims — she'll fight for the resources deputies and first responders need.

  • Back the badge with resources and respect
  • Support first responders across District 2
  • Public safety woven into growth and budget decisions

Protecting Sarasota's Neighborhoods, Water, and Future

Protecting Sarasota's Water & Regional Infrastructure

Major projects in neighboring counties can reach the same water Sarasota drinks. Kristina will push for regional review before approvals — protecting Sarasota's water and future.

  • Regional task force for shared water and energy impacts
  • Transparency on withdrawals, wastewater, and cooling demand
  • Sarasota at the table when decisions cross county lines

DeSoto isn't Sarasota — but we drink from the same straw.

Kristina Sargent, op-ed

Responsible Growth, Responsible Government

Protecting Sarasota's Neighborhoods, Water, and Future. That is how Kristina has served as a prosecutor, Army veteran, and community advocate — and what she will bring to the Sarasota County Commission. Together, we can save our sarasota.
