County Commission District 1
Pam Avery
Quote (via her website): I’m running for County Commissioner because I truly care about this community and how decisions being made affect all of us. North Brevard can sometimes be overlooked — which is why effective leadership matters. Actions speak louder than words. I will work with others, lead with integrity, and treat everyone with respect.
Stel Bailey
Quote: For years, I’ve been fighting for government transparency, and standing up for our community. Now, I’m asking for the opportunity to serve. My priorities are simple: fix flooding; improve drainage and roads; protect our existing neighborhoods; spend your tax dollars wisely; and bring more transparency and accountability to local government.
Rick Heffelfinger
Micah Loyd
Quote (via website): North Brevard deserves qualified, competent leadership that understands this community and is ready to get to work.
County District 4
Rob Feltner (incumbent)
Note: Feltner did not submit a video
Quote (via website): When Rob Feltner ran for office in 2022, he promised he wouldn’t vote to raise the property tax millage rate and he has kept that promise. Commissioner Feltner also voted against an increase to the gas tax, a new tax on utilities, and an increase to stormwater fees.
Adam Dyer
Note: Dyer did not submit a video
Quote (via website): I believe in accountable, transparent leadership that builds a culture of professionalism and respect in county government—focused on results, not politics. Public safety is non-negotiable. Our firefighters, first responders, and public servants deserve support, proper resources, and leadership that ensures Brevard County remains a safe place to live, work, and raise a family
