A new candidate has entered the race to be Jacksonville’s mayor.
She promised to be a transparent leader and stressed her opposition to raising gas taxes.
“Jacksonville can get moving without it always coming at the expense of higher taxes,” Cumber stated in a press release. “That is why I opposed the increased sales tax in 2019, and I opposed the doubling of the gas tax twice last year.”She also highlighted her goal to develop downtown Jacksonville. “We really need to create a climate downtown where people want to invest... All over the country and all over the world,” Cumber said.
