About CDP

Who are we?  We are a group of concerned citizens of Sarasota County.  We are Republicans, Democrats and Independents that feel our county government no longer cares to represent the people.

​

Sarasota County has five voting districts.  In the past we all voted for all commissioners.  In 2018 by amendment voters decided that each district will elect its own commissioner (Single Member Districts).  Now we have leverage.

Knowledge + Action = Power

 

This site will provide you with key information about the candidates and issues in the 2020 election.

​

It is our hope that with this information in one place, the voters will choose a commissioner who truly represents the public interest while in office.
