My Priorities

My name is James Clasby, and I am ready to help lead St. Lucie County into the future..

Why am I running for office?

I am running for office because I believe our county deserves a new, authentic, educated, and experienced voice. I will fight to keep taxes low, take steps to make SLC the cleanest county in Florida, make improving infrastructure a priority, and support our first responders to make SLC an even safer place to live, work, and play. It is time for a change in District 1. When elected I will be the most accessible commissioner this county has ever seen. I will be a valuable asset to all county residents and a natural fit on the current board to help lead St. Lucie County into the future.
