Growth should serve the people, not the powerful. Stephanie Vazquez believes Pasco County’s growth should center opportunity for residents, not just profits for a handful of developers. She stands for economic growth that strengthens communities, protects green spaces, and respects the land and wildlife that make Pasco special.

Reckless development has strained local roads, overcrowded schools, destroyed natural areas, and put families at risk of flooding. As new developments sprawl outward, animal habitats are wiped away and historic communities are pushed aside.

Stephanie Vazquez will fight to end the gold rush mentality and demand real infrastructure, school capacity, environmental protections, and flood planning for new projects. Stephanie is committed to making sure Pasco’s future is shaped by the people who live here, not by those looking to cash out and move on.

Pasco families deserve protection, not excuses. Stephanie is committed to making disaster preparedness a top priority. Disasters like Hurricane Helene and Milton exposed how vulnerable Pasco has become due to bad development. Preparing for storm mitigation, flooding, and emergencies alongside our committed first responders must be a year-round commitment, not just a political talking point.

Stephanie will fight for real, updated stormwater systems, regular flood risk assessments, and climate planning that keeps up with rapid growth. Pasco families cannot afford anything less.

Stephanie will fight for safer, people-first transportation policies. Families are tired of sitting in traffic while big box developers cash out. Pasco’s roads are clogged, dangerous, and falling apart because politicians approved development after development without a real transportation plan.

Meanwhile, everyday families are paying the price in longer commutes, higher insurance rates, and more accidents. We can better connect our roads without making them highways, improve traffic safety, create better transit options, and make sure developers pay their fair share for the traffic they cause. Stephanie Vazquez knows it’s time to fix Pasco’s commutes now.

Strong schools are the foundation of a strong community. Stephanie knows our kids deserve better, and our teachers do too. In Pasco County, teachers are underpaid, classrooms are overcrowded, and kids are being shortchanged, even as the community keeps growing. This is not a resource problem, it is a priority problem.

For Stephanie, this is personal. Her husband has been an educator in Pasco County for over 15 years. Together they are raising six children who have either graduated from or are currently enrolled in Pasco’s public schools. Stephanie knows firsthand the challenges teachers and students face when education is treated like an afterthought.

Stephanie will fight to put education where it belongs, top priority. She will champion better budgeting, real investment in teachers, and the resources every classroom needs to help students succeed.

Stephanie Vazquez will fight to establish term limits in Pasco County government, bringing fresh leadership, new ideas, and real accountability to the Commission. Pasco needs leaders who serve the people, not themselves.

When politicians stay in office for decades, they forget who they are supposed to work for. Instead of serving the people, they get cozy with big money, make backroom deals, and stop listening to the community.

Stephanie is committed to putting the people back in charge, not the political insiders.

Pasco belongs to the people, not the political elite. Pasco County is built by hardworking families, small business owners, teachers, veterans, and seniors–regular people who deserve a government that listens and delivers.

Stephanie Vazquez is committed to bringing Pasco together around real solutions, not partisan games or political division. That means fighting extremism, rejecting backroom politics, and working side-by-side with residents to move the county forward.

Stephanie believes Pasco’s best days are ahead, and she is ready to fight for a future built by all of us, not just the powerful few.
