The Volusia County Council Chair Race is a hot one with four candidates vying for the position. All the candidates have interesting backgrounds and everyone except for one has previous political experience.
While the Alliance generally chooses not endorse candidates, we do want it to be known that Deb Denys reached out to us and we met with her this week. Deb is a qualified candidate who resides in southeast Volusia and is well aware of the issues facing Volusia County.
With that said, below are candidate Bio’s and links to their campaigns. Please review this material and make an informed decision regarding this important race.
