Tallahassee, FL – November 3rd, 2024

As the District 4 County Commissioner race moves closer to Election Day, Dr. Isaac Montilla is speaking out about the pressing issue of homelessness in Tallahassee.

A core part of his "We Not Me" campaign philosophy, Montilla’s approach to addressing the homelessness crisis combines collaboration with national organizations and leveraging local resources to provide practical, humane solutions.

“Homelessness is a complex problem that requires a proactive and community-focused response,” Montilla said.

“We cannot afford to turn a blind eye to those in need.

My vision is to work alongside community partners and national organizations to provide the support and resources that will offer a pathway to stability and dignity.”

Montilla’s plan includes expanding partnerships with local organizations that already serve the homeless community, ensuring they have the resources they need to make a lasting impact.

He also aims to bring in best practices from successful national initiatives, adapting these solutions to address the unique needs of Tallahassee’s homeless population.

Montilla highlighted the importance of addressing root causes, such as affordable housing, mental health support, and job training programs.

By focusing on sustainable, long-term solutions, he believes that Tallahassee can create a model of compassionate and effective homeless outreach that other communities may emulate.

“Homelessness isn’t something we can just ‘solve’ and move on. It requires sustained effort and ongoing collaboration across sectors,” Montilla explained.

“Through partnerships with national programs and strengthening our local safety nets, we can help more individuals move off the streets and into stable, fulfilling lives.”

Montilla’s stance has drawn praise from voters who believe in his community-first approach.

Supporters note that his proactive solutions and commitment to collaboration reflect the integrity and dedication that have defined his campaign.

One local resident shared, “Dr. Montilla’s vision for solving homelessness is the kind of thoughtful, compassionate leadership we need.

He’s not looking for a quick fix—he’s genuinely committed to the well-being of every Tallahassee resident.”

As the homelessness crisis continues to be a significant concern for the citizens of Tallahassee, Dr. Montilla’s commitment to action and his "We Not Me" philosophy stand out as a beacon of hope for those seeking real solutions.

With Election Day approaching, Dr. Montilla invites residents to join him in his mission to bring tangible, positive change to District 4.

Florida Lawmaker Opposes Amendment 3: Why House Speaker Hopeful Wants You to Vote 'No'

As November approaches, the debate over Amendment 3—legalizing recreational marijuana in Florida—is heating up. One key voice speaking out against it is Rep. Sam Garrison, a Republican from Fleming Island who’s next in line to become the House Speaker.

Garrison recently made his stance clear in a detailed email sent to media outlets, expressing his concerns about locking marijuana policy into the Florida Constitution.

His argument revolves around a common theme: state policy should be flexible, adaptable, and debated openly in the legislature rather than fixed through a constitutional amendment.

He pointed out the challenges of “policymaking by constitutional referendum,” arguing that it's not the best approach for a state as large and dynamic as Florida.

Garrison even reminded readers of past amendments, like the 2002 "pregnant pigs" amendment, as examples of why such decisions should be left to state lawmakers.

Regardless of where people stand on marijuana legalization, Garrison believes that the proper forum for debate is in Tallahassee, where elected representatives can openly discuss and fine-tune policies. "The place to debate it is in Tallahassee at the Capitol where the public can see and hear what we say and do,” Garrison emphasized.

He also highlighted the success of Florida's existing medical marijuana program, which was established through a 2016 constitutional amendment.

As the chair of the House Health Care Appropriations Subcommittee, Garrison argued that Floridians who need cannabis for legitimate medical purposes already have safe and easy access.

He stated that this focus on alleviating suffering, which has bipartisan support, differs significantly from the push for recreational marijuana legalization.

Garrison also touched on a broader concern: Florida's reputation. "We’re not California. We’re not Colorado.

And we are certainly not New York,” he wrote, emphasizing that Florida’s economy thrives on its pro-family, pro-business, and tourism-friendly environment.

For Garrison, promoting Florida's natural beauty and recreational assets like beaches and springs should be prioritized over marijuana legalization.

In short, Garrison wants voters to think twice before they cast their ballots on Amendment 3.

He warns that amending the state constitution to legalize recreational marijuana could have long-lasting impacts, not only on Florida's policymaking flexibility but also on its reputation.

While the debate is sure to continue, Garrison’s position underscores the complexity and importance of this decision for Florida's future.

Isaac Montilla: The "We Not Me" Leader Leon County Has Been Waiting For

In a time where politics seems to be more about individual power and less about collective progress, there comes a voice so unique, it’s turning heads across Leon County.

That voice belongs to Dr. Isaac Montilla, a county commissioner candidate whose “We Not Me” approach is redefining what it means to serve the community.

This is not just another political slogan. It’s a philosophy, a mission, and a call for a better, more unified future for all of us.

Isaac Montilla is a breath of fresh air. One long-time resident recently remarked, "He’s like nothing we’ve ever seen. It would be amazing for a guy like this to be a county commissioner."

And it's not just lip service.

Montilla has been out in our neighborhoods, knocking on doors, listening to the concerns of every resident.

He’s not about raising money from special interests, nor is he caught up in the game of political grandstanding.

What Montilla brings is a genuine focus on the community, putting our needs first, every single time.

His “We Not Me” approach isn’t just a catchy phrase; it’s a bold commitment to stand against the tide of politics as usual.

Montilla doesn't talk about change — he embodies it.

He isn’t in this race to win a title or check off a personal ambition; he’s here to push us all forward, to put the people back in charge of their government. He’s the guy who will pick up the phone, walk into your small business, and ask, “What do you need to thrive in this community?”

Can you remember the last time a politician actually did that?

And that’s exactly what makes him different.

Another local citizen said it best: "Dr. Montilla is the real deal. I hope and pray he can get there because we need him so bad."

That’s the sentiment echoing through neighborhoods across Leon County.

People are excited — finally, someone who isn’t just talking about change, but is out there making it happen.

In a world where political figures often put their interests before ours, Montilla has made it clear: his campaign isn’t about taking sides or furthering personal agendas.

It’s about bringing us together, solving real problems, and building a county that works for everyone.

From public safety to responsible development, his focus is on proactive solutions, not reactive excuses.

He’s advocating for transparent governance, free from the backroom deals and special-interest contributions that have tainted politics for far too long.

Montilla talks about responsible growth, public safety, ethical governance, and fiscal responsibility with a passion that is almost shocking in its sincerity.

He’s the guy who will fight for tax relief during hard economic times, ensure first responders and educators are fairly compensated, and find solutions for the homeless — not because it's politically convenient, but because it’s the right thing to do.

Dr. Montilla’s vision is not pie-in-the-sky dreaming. It’s a meticulously crafted plan rooted in the belief that together, we can build a better Leon County.

He promises to be present, to listen, to gather information, study the issues, and implement the best solutions.

It’s a refreshing contrast to the politics we’ve grown used to: the grandstanding, the last-minute flurries of activity before re-election, the empty promises.

Montilla is here to roll up his sleeves from day one and work with us, for us.

His candidacy isn’t just a campaign; it’s a movement. The energy and enthusiasm behind his run have been palpable.

Residents are rallying around him because he represents a rare kind of leadership that actually places the community above self-interest.

Imagine a county commissioner who doesn’t simply “do politics” but lives and breathes the spirit of community, who leads not by dictating, but by listening.

Isaac Montilla is offering us a new kind of politics, one where the people come first.

His “We Not Me” approach isn’t just another slogan — it’s the truth that’s been missing in our government.

So, come November 5th, let's seize this opportunity.

Let's elect a leader who will bring fresh ideas, real compassion, and a willingness to do the hard work it takes to make our community stronger.

Leon County, this is our chance.

Dr. Isaac Montilla is the real deal. We need him so badly because his vision of “We Not Me” is a promise to put us all back in the driver’s seat of our future.

Let's not let this opportunity slip by.

With Montilla, it’s not about politics as usual. It’s about building a county where we all thrive — together.

Open Letter to 60 Minutes: What Is Your End Game?

Dear 60 Minutes,

As a media and public relations professional, I watched with disappointment as your recent segment on the so-called corruption in the insurance industry aired.

The timing of this piece—right after a hurricane—is more than just suspect; it's an example of what I’d call media hackery.

And to make matters worse, the story you presented is essentially a repackaged version of one that aired three years ago.

This raises a critical question: What is your end game?

We can all agree that the days of Mike Wallace and Dan Rather are over.

They were journalists of integrity who set a high bar for investigative reporting.

But now, 60 Minutes seems more interested in stoking public outrage and sensationalism.

While you certainly have the right to choose your stories, I have to wonder: Are you deliberately trying to undermine an industry that exists to protect people from natural disasters like hurricanes, floods, and tornadoes?

What exactly are you trying to prove here?

Your piece painted the insurance industry as a monolithic villain, hell-bent on cheating policyholders.

Yet, you neglected to mention the complexities of the insurance process and the diligent work that goes into responding to natural disasters.

The reality is that insurance companies don’t get into business to fail. If an insurer writes bad policies or exploits its customers, it won’t last long in this market.

There’s no mention in your story of how these companies and their adjusters are often the first on the scene after a storm, setting up rapid response teams and reaching out to policyholders because it’s not just good business—it’s the right thing to do.

We all hope for calm weather and natural disaster-free years, but the insurance industry stands ready to help when storms do strike.

Unlike storm chasers or roofing contractors who are essentially cheering for a hurricane to come their way, insurance companies are not hoping for a disaster.

Why?

Because paying out claims isn’t profitable; it’s simply part of the service they provide.

Insurers don’t profit from destruction the way others do—and frankly, the way 60 Minutes just did by capitalizing on a “hot” story to spike ratings.

Let’s be honest.

Your story wasn’t about exposing wrongdoing; it was about sensationalizing a narrative for viewership.

Congratulations on the ratings bump!

But in doing so, you’ve demonstrated that the era of responsible journalism that Mike Wallace and Dan Rather represented is truly over.

This wasn’t a balanced exposé; it was a one-sided attack designed to paint an entire industry in the worst possible light.

So again, I ask: What is your end game?

To make the public distrust the very industry that exists to protect them in times of crisis?

To turn hardworking adjusters and insurers into villains while glorifying those who profit off tragedy?

It’s easy to sit in an air-conditioned studio and pass judgment, but the reality on the ground is far more nuanced than the narrative you presented.

While you have every right to air stories like this, remember that others, including those in the industry, have the right to counter your narrative.

As someone in media and PR, I will.

The insurance industry doesn't need to rely on sensationalism to make its case; it relies on facts, transparency, and the critical role it plays in protecting people's livelihoods.

The story you told is not just incomplete—it’s a dangerous misrepresentation of an industry that we all need.

So, to 60 Minutes: If your aim is to reveal truth, do it fairly and fully. Until then, spare us the ratings-grabbing sensationalism disguised as journalism.

The public deserves better.

Sincerely,

Chaz Galloway

Media Expert and PR Consultant
