This isn't a list of wishes — it's a working plan for District 4, built from facts on the ground and a simple rule: the people who benefit from county growth should pay their own way, and the residents who live here should always be able to see what government is doing.
The black mold that keeps covering homes, vehicles, barns, and fields across District 4 is real — and it is coming from a source we can fix. The fix is a machine that removes black mold by taking the vapor out at the source. No vapor, no food for the mold, no mold on your house.
The machine is called an industrial gas scrubber. It attaches to the aging warehouses whose ventilation pulls fresh air in and vents it out — carrying with it the vapor that feeds the black mold on everything downwind. Fitted on the warehouses around us, it takes the problem out of the air instead of leaving it on our homes.
The math that makes it possible: Nelson County holds roughly 200 aging warehouses with about 5 million barrels inside them. The contents of a single warehouse are worth about $39 million wholesale. Fitting every single one of them with the machine would cost less than one percent of the profits.
That's why Frankie says it plainly: the industry can afford to clean up at the source — without costing the taxpayers a penny.
Frankie starts work on this the day he takes office. As magistrate, he will bring the county, the state, and the industry to one table and keep them there until the air over District 4 is clean. He will fight for every dollar of it to come from industry funds — not from the pockets of Nelson County residents.

When the public can see how decisions are made, government works for the people. Frankie's rule is simple: if it involves your money or your community, you deserve to see it, hear it, and question it — before it's a done deal.
Post meeting agendas and back-up materials well before votes — so residents can actually read what's coming before it's approved, not after.
Every big vote gets a plain-English explanation: what's being approved, what it costs, and who it affects. No lawyer-speak required to follow your own county government.
A magistrate's job is to carry the district's voice into the room. Residents will know what's coming, get real answers to their questions, and have their say before decisions are final.
District 4's roads carry the county's heaviest truck traffic — and they're showing it. Frankie's rule: fix the roads we have before we approve more warehouse capacity that adds hauling to those same roads. Growth should pay its own way.
The roads people actually drive — to work, to school, to church — come before any new approval that would pile more truck traffic on them.
When new capacity is proposed, the county should insist the growth — not the residents — covers the road cost it creates. Growth is welcome; the bill for it isn't yours.
One plan, not two afterthoughts: when warehouses and hauling routes are on the table, road capacity is on the table at the same time.
The people who built this county shouldn't be priced out of the homes they've lived in their whole lives. Frankie will be the vote on Fiscal Court that keeps fixed-income residents front and center.
Work for property-tax relief and fairness for seniors on fixed incomes — so a lifetime of work and one good home isn't squeezed by rising assessments.
Straight answers for seniors dealing with county offices — no runaround. If Frankie can't fix it, he'll find the person who can and walk it there himself.
Seniors built the county we all enjoy. Their voices in county decisions aren't a courtesy — they're a debt owed, and Frankie intends to pay it.
Quarterly community meetings across the district — because the people of Cox's Creek, Deatsville, and Fairfield shouldn't have to drive to the courthouse and wait on a meeting agenda to talk to their magistrate.
Four community meetings a year rotating through Cox's Creek, Deatsville, and Fairfield — open floor, plain talk, no script.
When a question needs a county office's answer, Frankie takes it there, gets the answer, and brings it back to the community — out loud and on the record.
A short, plain-English written report after each meeting so everyone — even folks who couldn't attend — can follow what their magistrate is doing.
