As Collier continues to grow and develop, the qualities that the original residents enjoyed and that the new residents were attracted by, are under threat. County government must guide the development of the County in a way that retains Collier's desirable qualities and prevents Southwest Florida from becoming disordered and broken.
The common approach to infrastructure development throughout the US marked by top-down, chunked development and ultra-rigid use-based zoning has led to ugly, dangerous, and financially and environmentally unsustainable places. We must take a different approach that promotes bottom-up, incrementally developed communities that we can live in rather than just drive to work in. Massive developers and other moneyed/powerful interests should not be the ones who dictate where and how people live in their own communities.
I live off of Immokalee and hear sirens much more frequently than I would like. We don't have to resign ourselves to dangerous roads as if frequent crashes are an inevitability of modern society. New approaches that incorporate modern technology while also keeping our communities safe must be pursued.
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,
-Cody Davis
Did you know that the Collier Supervisor of Elections, Melissa Blazier (REP), said that a group of Republicans committed "election fraud" in the 2024 Naples Mayoral race? And that the Treasurer of the Win America PAC said a well-connected and wealthy man named Matt Hurley was the central figure of such "election fraud" scheme? Read the document below to learn about the corruption network within the Collier GOP:
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.
