After 25 years in Aerospace, Defense and Marine manufacturing, this early endorsement means the world to me! Grateful to @fcmaweb for their support as we continue to create jobs in Jax!
“For more than two decades, Nick Howland has led manufacturing companies in Jacksonville. He has even served on FCMA’s Board of Directors. Nick has helped create and protect thousands of jobs across our region and, on City Council, remains the strongest champion for manufacturing and job growth. FCMA is proud to support Nick Howland for reelection.” - @lakeray3, President

Productive week discussing Veteran issues with Florida’s next Lieutenant Governor @BryanAvilaFL, connecting with other community leaders at @nefbastrong’s Beast Feast, and receiving the endorsement of @TheRealFOP530!
Proud to serve alongside so many dedicated leaders!
Read beyond the headline.
Re: outlying segments 4,6,7,8 …
“We lost that federal grant, and I think we're going to have a difficult time finding the funding for that,” Howland said. “If we do, I would have a very difficult time justifying spending that money on a bike trail when we could instead spend it on better sidewalks, drainage, paving the streets, and lighting in many of those neighborhoods where some of those infrastructure investments have been neglected for a long time.”
Incredibly honored and grateful to receive an early endorsement for my March 2027 reelection from the brave men and women of @TheRealFOP530!
“Nick Howland has championed public safety and fully funded JSO since his very first days on City Council. And, as the Council’s liaison to JSO for more than three years, he has been a trusted partner committed to safe neighborhoods and safer streets. Nick has had our backs, and FOP 5-30 is proud to back him for his re-election.” - Randy Reaves, President.

Back in the classroom this week for the first time in 20+ years … as guest lecturer for 30 students in the @JacksonvilleU Master of Public Policy program.
We dug into the city budget, JTA, and Jacksonville’s potential for major job growth in the aerospace, defense, and marine industries.
Grateful to @rick_mullaney for the invitation … and for a room full of future policy leaders asking sharp questions.

My name is Wyman Duggan and I'm running for Mayor of Jacksonville.
I love this city. It's my home. I want every family in Jacksonville to have a real shot at building a life here. But right now, too many of them are getting squeezed.
Jacksonville taxpayers deserve service and accountability. The Select Committee, chaired by CM Chris Miller, will focus on JTA’s financial stability, on governance, and on optimizing public transit for the residents and businesses that depend on it. Should evidence of fraud and negligence emerge, we will investigate as appropriate.

More than 500 turned out for the @DeptVetAffairs “Our Veterans Matter” resource fair at @VyStarVetArena today.
Great catching up with Chris Miller, Scott Lara, and dozens of Northeast Florida’s leading Veteran advocates.
🇺🇸 Jacksonville shows up for Veterans!
Thank you for doing this @JAXPORT.
James’ legacy will endure through the many critical projects he helped bring to life, the people he inspired, and his unwavering dedication to improving the quality of life throughout NE Florida.
Additional tributes honoring Bennett include the James Bennett Memorial Endowed Scholarship at the @UofNorthFlorida, which will support students studying transportation and logistics and engineering, a permanent @JaxStrong survey marker that will support future construction and navigation projects, and @CityofJax City Council President @NickHowland15 presented a City Council resolution honoring Bennett’s life and contributions to the community.
Bennett’s wife, Kim, joined today’s Board meeting to accept the commemorative items on behalf of the Bennett family.
Together, these tributes recognize Bennett’s lasting contributions to JAXPORT, the maritime industry and the Jacksonville community: bit.ly/4ABUCsf
