Nancy Lewis

Nancy understands that Collier County is at a crossroads and facing numerous challenges, including: dire environmental issues (red tide, blue/green algae, water conservation, etc.), aging infrastructures, limited space for expansion in its urban areas, and major traffic congestion. To effect change, she supports long-term, responsible growth and development that does not negatively impact the county’s existing social, environmental, and cultural aspects – those very characteristics that are emblematic of its high quality of life.

“People did not move to Collier County to find themselves living in another Miami,” she states. “Although growth is inevitable, wise planning requires sophisticated solutions. Today, we’ve got runaway growth and we don’t have the systems in place to handle that growth. If I’m elected, I plan to fight with every fiber of my being to engage in sensible, planned growth to protect the Collier way of life. I’m running to be part of the solution and not part of the problem. There is not enough public awareness and our rights are being compromised.”
