An unidentified speaker at a Neptune Beach municipal meeting said they preferred a local candidate, Zach, to a larger firm under consideration, citing the candidate's residency and demonstrated community commitment.
The speaker told the mayor that "there were 2 standouts, for me," and described the choice as between "1 being local and the other being, you know, the the firm with a breadth and depth to it." They said their evaluation was guided by which option "will get the best level of service."
The speaker emphasized local ties as a deciding factor: "I think, Zach has demonstrated that having someone local who lives here and is a big part of this community just pours a little bit more passion into that role." They added, "I know Zach living in Neptune Beach, he has gone above and beyond for us as a city," and said that those facts were "factored into my decision as well."
