First, and foremost we must never forget that we are “One Nation under God”.
I am Billy O’Dell and I am running for St. Lucie County Commissioner, District 1. St. Lucie County has been my home for 55 years and I have owned and operated a variety of businesses here in Agriculture, Tourism, Transportation, Recreation, Retail and Public Safety. My wife Liza and I have been married for 30 years and we are active in our church and community.
The St. Lucie County Board of County Commissioners is a team of five. I believe that my 30 years of diversified business experience in St. Lucie County will be a valuable asset to our board, especially in the areas of Economic Development & Recovery, Taxes and Government Accountability.
I am currently a Federally Licensed FAA Airline Transport Pilot, U.S. Coast Guard Merchant Marine Officer and a Federal Firearms Dealer.
Concurrently, I am Nationally Certified in Emergency & Disaster Preparedness, and an Instructor in Emergency Medical Services, Public Safety Diving, Technical & Recreational SCUBA Diving, Water Safety and Firearms Safety.
Memberships include St. Lucie County Planning & Zoning Commission, St. Anastasia’s Catholic Church, Knights of Columbus, Reef Environmental Education Foundation, American Safety & Health Institute, National Rifle Association, Aircraft Owners & Pilots Assoc. and Professional Assoc. of Diving Instructors.
I am looking forward to serving my fellow St. Lucie County residents who demand and deserve good leadership in the tough times ahead.
