Solutions. Not Sides.
Manatee County deserves leadership that puts residents first — not politics, not special interests, not shortcuts.
I’m running because I believe growth should be smart, infrastructure should come first, and our community should never lose what makes it special.

Growth is inevitable. Chaos is not. Reggie believes development must be guided by thoughtful planning that protects neighborhoods and reflects the voices of residents.
Roads, sewer, and stormwater systems must be addressed before approvals are granted. Growth without infrastructure strains families and businesses — and that’s unacceptable.

Economic growth and environmental stewardship go hand in hand.
Reggie believes Manatee County can attract high-quality employers, support small businesses, and expand opportunity — while protecting the water and environment that fuel our local economy.

Economic growth and environmental stewardship go hand in hand.
Reggie believes Manatee County can attract high-quality employers, support small businesses, and expand opportunity — while protecting the water and environment that fuel our local economy.
Strong infrastructure, clear standards, and responsible planning create certainty for businesses and stability for residents.
We don’t have to choose between prosperity and protection. With smart leadership, we can achieve both.

Leadership means answering to residents — not hiding from them.
That starts with the budget.
Taxpayer dollars should be spent wisely. Priorities should be clear. Long-term planning should come before short-term politics.

Leadership means answering to residents — not hiding from them.

Taxpayer dollars should be spent wisely. Priorities should be clear. Long-term planning should come before short-term politics.

Spend wisely. Plan ahead. Deliver results.
That’s responsible government.
Manatee County isn’t just where Reggie Bellamy serves — it’s home.
Born and raised here, Reggie learned early the value of hard work, faith, and showing up for others. From his days at Manatee High School to serving in the United States military, service has always shaped his life.
After returning home, Reggie dedicated himself to investing in people. He has coached high school and collegiate athletics, mentored students as a dean, and today serves as Executive Director of the Palmetto Youth Center — providing a safe place where young people can grow, learn, and build confidence.
As a former Manatee County Commissioner, Reggie focused on practical solutions — strengthening infrastructure, supporting responsible growth, and keeping local government accountable to residents. He believes growth should improve our community, not overwhelm it.
Reggie is a father, a mentor, and a neighbor who believes leadership is about responsibility — not politics.
That’s why he leads the same way he’s always lived — focused on solutions, not sides.
“When we put people before politics, the results benifit the entire community."

Together, we can protect what makes Manatee special and plan responsibly for our future.
