Dr. Robert McCann
The Bradenton Times endorses and strongly recommends you vote for Dr. McCann.
Political platform statement
McCann has loudly decried the outsized influence that developers currently enjoy and has pledged to restore local government to a body that is truly representative of the people in our community instead of a limited cabal of special interests. What’s more, he has a proven track record of someone with both the integrity and fortitude to deliver on such promises.
McCann is a Navy veteran, a recently retired physician, and a lawyer who also holds a Master’s in Business/Health Care Administration. In 2000, he was vetted as a candidate for U.S. Surgeon General. His education and broad diversity in professional experience make him one of the most qualified and interesting county commission candidates we have come across.
Dr. McCann was a loud voice of opposition in both instances and has championed a commitment to small government and fiscal conservatism, traditional GOP ideals that Turner and his allies have eschewed at every opportunity.
If you want responsive elected officials who are unafraid of standing up to special interests, The Bradenton Times strongly recommends you vote for Dr. McCann.
From the Candidate:
“The power and authority of the government originates with the people."
