“Austin is a bright and vibrant community-minded leader who has been advocating for the things that make our area a wonderful place to live and spend time. He is a businessman, a promoter of the family, and a smart growth advocate. I know he will work hard for the families in District 1. He has my trust and my support,”
Mayor John Rees
​Winter Garden, Fl
“I have been watching Austin and his campaign, he has proven to me that he has the best interest of the community at heart. I especially appreciate the work he has done in minority under-resourced communities, not just during his election but long before. I am looking forward to working together with him on things that matter to all our residents.”
Allie Braswell
​Community Leader
“I am very excited to work with Austin when he enters the Orange County Commission. He has a keen understanding of the needed balance between preservation and growth. I have worked with him through Friends of Lake Apopka, the Oakland Nature Preserve, and other areas of activity regarding preservation in our area. His love for our natural environment coupled with his sharp ability to work with others and articulate our needs, is what will make him a great commissioner for us and an ally of preservation.”
Commissioner Rick Polland
Oakland, Fl
"Austin has been such a blessing to our community. He has been showing up and helping us for years, even when nobody was looking. We need him in that seat to lead as our commissioner in Orange County. The Lord has guided him and he is ready to serve at new levels- for all of us.”
"Mother" Charlie Mae Wilder
East WG Community Advocate
“Austin definitely ‘walks the talk.’ Time and time again, I have seen Austin giving back to the others. He has earned my respect, the trust of the community, and I’m excited to support his candidacy. We need Austin!”
Chloe Johnson
Orange County Citizens Safety Task Force Member
and Community Advocate
“Being a County Commissioner is not about partisan politics. It’s about tackling real issues for real people. That’s why we need Austin Arthur. He knows how to work with others and he doesn’t care who gets the credit. He just wants to get the job done!”
Councilmember Tom Stroup
Windermere, Fl
“As a two-term Orange County Commissioner, I understand the significance of collaboration. When addressing development's responsibilities to our roads and the community's welfare, it falls upon the district commissioner to engage with all stakeholders. Austin possesses the necessary business acumen and partnership mindset to positively impact the district. I wholeheartedly endorse him and eagerly anticipate the positive changes he will bring to West Orange County.”
Victoria P. Siplin
OCFL Commissioner, District 6 | 2014-2022
“It's clear Austin has a passion for people and for our environment. His advocacy and work for Lake Apopka, Habitat for Humanity, suicide awareness and other important causes is making a positive difference in the lives of real people. As a commissioner, he’ll be the balanced voice between growth and preservation, as well as a strong collaborative partner with the cities in his district,”
Commissioner Sal Ramos
Oakland, Fl
