Background

People are the lifeblood of any city, and the building blocks of community and neighborhoods.  The growing City of Sarasota residential community has yet to achieve representation appropriate for its contributions to the local economy.

Given the residential building boom, and the impacts of growth, there is an increasing need for the city of Sarasota to be livable, vibrant, and sustainable.   

 

CityPAC seeks to help identify and support city commissioners who listen to residents, respect their input, and prioritize the needs of those who call Sarasota "home".
