A neighbor you can trust. A voice for our community.
Platform
What I Stand For
Plain talk on the issues that matter most to our district.
Firefighter Safety & Staffing
Our firefighters and paramedics deserve the resources and staffing levels to do their jobs safely. I'll advocate for proper crew sizes, modern equipment, and fair working conditions.
Fiscal Responsibility
Every dollar the district spends is a dollar from our neighbours' pockets. I'll push for transparent budgeting, competitive bidding, and spending that reflects our community's real priorities.
Community Transparency
Residents deserve to know how decisions are made. I'll work to make board meetings more accessible, publish clear financial reports, and keep the lines of communication open.
Emergency Preparedness
West Manatee is growing. Our emergency response capabilities need to grow with it. I'll focus on planning ahead — not catching up — so our community is ready for whatever comes.
About Billy
A Neighbor, Not a Politician
I'm Billy Burke — a West Manatee resident who believes our fire rescue district deserves a board member who shows up, listens, and puts the community first.
I'm not a career politician. I'm your neighbor, and I'm running because I care about the people and families this district serves every single day.
