His goal is to ensure that every resident has a voice in shaping the future of their community.

With years of experience managing operations and balancing budgets, Demetris knows how to make city government work for the people. He will prioritize modernizing Jacksonville’s infrastructure, improving roads and public services, and increasing transparency in how tax dollars are spent. His approach is simple: fix what’s broken, invest where it matters, and make sure residents see results.

As a Navy veteran and lifelong public servant, Demetris understands the challenges working families and veterans face. He is committed to creating fair access to housing, expanding job training programs, and strengthening support for those who serve and those who work hard every day. His vision is a Jacksonville where everyone has the opportunity to build a secure and fulfilling life.
