Home - Vote Cody Davis for Collier County Commissioner

As Collier continues to grow, the locally rooted, quiet way of life that longtime residents built, and that new families moved here to enjoy, is under threat. Sprawling, chaotic development driven by big developers is overwhelming our roads, straining our environment, and pricing out small businesses and working families. County government must stand with local residents, not outside interests, and guide growth in a way that protects what makes Collier distinct while building a strong, livable future for the next generation.

Collier's growth has been shaped by fragile, top-down planning that prioritizes large developers over residents, resulting in congestion, crashes, and lifeless, isolating neighborhoods. We need a smarter, more resilient approach that allows neighborhoods to grow organically, street by street, instead of in massive chunks. I support infrastructure that enables walkable, family-friendly communities, where people can live, work, and thrive without sitting in traffic or being stuck at home. Zoning should be less rigid and shaped locally rather than by distant officials and developers.

I live off Immokalee Road and hear sirens more often than I’d like. We don’t have to resign ourselves to dangerous roads as if frequent crashes are an inevitable part of modern life. With smarter street design and infrastructure that prioritizes human life—not just vehicle speed—we can build safer communities for everyone. Modern technology and thoughtful planning can make our county a place where families feel secure, kids and the elderly can participate in daily life, and pedestrians and cyclists aren’t constantly at risk.

My name is Cody Davis and I'm a historian and election law expert running for Collier County Commissioner of District 2. I grew up in Illinois but have been visiting Southwest Florida since I was very young. My grandparents were snowbirds in Ft. Myers and I would fly down with my family to see them sometimes. In 2019, I moved to Naples full-time along with my family and grandparents, who had also relocated nearby.

I hated school and decided to homeschool myself in 2016 for both high school and college, which I did until 2021, focusing on history, politics, and theology. In 2022, I created the Vote Men Political Action Committee to encourage men to run for office and help them win. I believed this was necessary to bring balance to the political arena since there were 20 political action committees, both Republican and Democrat, that elected women.

After growing frustrated with the corruption of major-party politics, I shut down the Vote Men PAC and created the Jeffersonian Party of Florida, a new political party that advocates for federal, constitutional, American government. We got ballot access in October and I'm now running as the Party's first candidate. You will see me on your general election ballot alongside the letters "JEF". I hope you are ready for change like I am and will come out and vote for me in the November 2026 election for Collier Commissioner, District 2. Thank you for your time,

What is the Jeffersonian Party of Florida?
The Jeffersonian Party of Florida is a new political party with ballot access that advocates for federal, constitutional, American government.

Can I vote for you even if I'm not a registered Jeffersonian?
Yes, I will be on your general election ballot November 3, 2026 regardless of your party affiliation. In order to vote at all, you need to be a registered Florida voter and you can do so here. I encourage you to register as a Jeffersonian if you want to restore truly federal, constitutional, American government.

Is a Jeffersonian candidate viable?
Other third parties usually take a top down approach and they barely get any votes and waste a lot of time, effort, and money. But, when third party candidates run for local office, there are many examples of success. The Jeffersonian Party advocates for a bottom-up approach, which has been demonstrated to work repeatedly throughout the country's history. Win at the bottom and build momentum before working upwards.

It is also a great advantage that third parties often create three way races on general election ballots, meaning they need at least 1/3rd to win, rather than the typical majority in a two way race.

Is there a risk that you will function as a spoiler candidate on the general election ballot?

The Collier Supervisor of Elections divides voters into three categories, and I will display their numbers below:

Republicans: 142,136

Democrats: 49,997

Others: 65,152

In Collier County, there are more "Other" voters than Democrats, by a lot. Voters are looking for an alternative on the ballot and I would like to provide that.

Keep Collier's Character

Bottom-up Infrastructural Development

Above all, we must be safe.
