Linsey Grove brings nearly two decades of experience as a public health advocate, educator, and small business owner to her candidacy for District 6. She’s a proud Roser Park homeowner, creative problem-solver, and known bridge-builder across political and community lines.
​
As a former president of the League of Women Voters of the St. Petersburg Area, Linsey has championed major initiatives like Complete Streets, zoning reform for affordable housing, and mail-in voting access during COVID-19.
I believe that we can grow our city while also preserving the neighborhoods, culture, and businesses that make St. Pete desirable to live in. Updating our zoning, enhancing public transit, and involving neighborhoods in planning can help create that balance.
The city we love has become increasingly unaffordable. Affordable housing is an issue that the vast majority of voters care about because housing is increasingly LESS affordable for most of us. We need to not only build more affordable housing but also update and repair current housing stock, harden storm-prone areas and homes, and consider other forms of housing for mixed incomes.
Neighborhoods are the pride of our city; they are the places where people feel connected to the city and our social fabric. However, there is a lot we can do to create stronger neighborhood connectedness, neighborhood business support, and better infrastructure to support neighbors in distress.
Have questions or suggestions? I would love to hear from you!
