Empowering Positive Change
St. Augustine is unlike any other place in the country. Our history, neighborhoods, natural beauty, and small-city character are what make this city home, not just a destination.
But St. Augustine is at a crossroads. Growth pressures, traffic, climate impacts, rising costs, and tourism demand thoughtful leadership, leadership that protects our quality of life while planning responsibly for the future.
Barbara Blonder is running for mayor to lead St. Augustine with balance, integrity, and evidence-based decision-making, so our city remains livable, resilient, and rooted in what matters most: the people who call it home.
