"Jeff Bergosh is a leader with fortitude and he is not afraid to tell the truth--even when it is not popular. He understands governance, infrastructure, and leadership. He also knows growth and economic development and how important these things are to a thriving economy. He represents his constituents with distinction- and he greatly assisted in the team effort to bring millions of dollars to Pensacola and Escambia County for high-tech jobs at the Pensacola Airport. His assistance was vital and our community is better for it. Jeff is the right man to represent District 1 on the Escambia Board of County Commissioners"

He said that "I don't feel entitled to the seat, I have to earn it," and that's how he has gone about the job. He's been a fiscal conservative from the start."

JEFF BERGOSH UNDERSTANDS OUR LOCAL SMALL BUSINESSES:
When we established the Pop-Up Movie Tour concept we started it in Escambia County's District 1 at the fairgrounds. We called everyone we could think of and I exhausted every contact I had before "cold-calling" Commissioner Bergosh's office. Everyone and everywhere else shut us down, but Jeff Bergosh gave us immediate help and quickly provided me the assistance I needed to get the business off the ground. His assistance and the help from his office were vital to the tremendous success we achieved opening up this concept in the Pensacola area--so I am thankful for Jeff's help getting the Pop-Up Movie Tour started. He is a guy that understands small business and I believe he does a great job for Escambia County. He has my support in this election! --Michael Silver- Small Business Owner, Entrepreneur, and founder of Drive-In Dudes and the Pop-Up Movie Tour June, 2020
"Jeff understands the difficulties facing those of us in the building/developing business. Jeff helped when county rules on naming subdivisions was going to cost me money at no fault of mine or my company. Jeff spoke to staff, the issue was solved, and I did not incur any losses. He was helpful and that really stood out to me as a true mark of leadership--and I support Jeff Bergosh for Escambia County Commissioner in this election"
--Gary Holt, Pensacola Realtor, Developer, and small business owner May, 2020
As the owner of Horse Rides of Pensacola for over a decade I have enjoyed operating my business out in the Beulah community of District 1. But as Beulah has grown, the number of interactions between horses and cars has increased--and unfortunately this resulted in the death of our horse "Cookie" very recently on Frank Reeder Road. When I knew that we needed warning signage out in the community alerting drivers to the presence of horses and riders--I contacted Commissioner Jeff Bergosh and he immediately assigned staff to the issue. Within two weeks we had warning signs installed making our operations and drivers much safer. And any time I have needed the county to get the workers from the jail out here to clean up the right of ways--I have called Jeff's office and the very next day it is done....not two or three days later, the very next day! I appreciate Commissioner Bergosh's support for local small businesses and his fast response to important issues; I think Jeff does a great job and he has my full support in this election!--Cheryl Glass, owner/operator of Horse Rides of Pensacola June 2020
