Absolutely. Here’s the revised, text-only alignment comparison between Paul M. Grogan and Holly Davis, with all references corrected to reflect Paul’s consistent attendance, engagement, and open-door policy:
Civic Presence and Leadership Style
Holly Davis presents herself as a full-time commissioner who frequently appears at community events and ribbon cuttings. However, many residents note she can be difficult to reach unless you catch her in person or chase her down through staff channels. Her communication tends to flow one-way—updates and press releases—with limited back-and-forth accessibility.
Paul M. Grogan actively participates in nearly every County Commission meeting, both virtually and in person when invited. He engages through consistent civic involvement, digital outreach, and direct community service. Paul maintains an open-door policy for residents, businesses, and nonprofits—believing elected officials should be easy to reach, not tracked down. His involvement is consistent, intentional, and accountable to the people.
Alignment: Both are present in the community—but Paul’s presence is available, approachable, and grounded in service, whereas Holly’s access often feels selective or staff-filtered.
Development and Growth
Holly Davis supports long-term strategic growth, often voting in favor of rezonings and Planned Unit Developments (PUDs) as long as they align with staff recommendations. She views growth as inevitable and focuses on planning to accommodate it.
Paul M. Grogan stands for responsible, community-led growth. He opposes unnecessary rezonings and commercial expansions that don’t match infrastructure capacity or resident needs. Paul emphasizes preserving the county’s integrity and reusing existing commercial and residential space before expanding into undeveloped areas.
Alignment: Holly embraces growth planning through institutional lenses. Paul insists on community-first growth, led by the people, not consultants or developers.
Transparency and Accountability
Holly Davis maintains a polished public image but has been criticized for glossing over tough issues or deferring too quickly to staff input. While she publishes updates, she is rarely found actively dialoguing with the public unless cornered.
Paul M. Grogan pushes for full transparency—not just updates, but real conversation. He calls out misinformation, challenges inflated narratives (like overblown emergency stats), and offers public explanations. Paul is not just open—he’s proactive, often being the first to inform residents of what’s happening behind the scenes.
Alignment: Paul is radically transparent and rooted in public service. Holly favors structured updates, but without the same level of personal accountability or dialogue.
Budget and Funding Philosophy
Holly Davis supports well-planned budgets and relies on consultants and staff to develop long-term fiscal strategies. She prioritizes maintaining a strong internal balance and infrastructure improvements.
Paul M. Grogan believes Citrus County is consistently missing out on outside funding. He’s vocal about the need to activate state and federal grants, challenge outdated matching policies, and stop leaning on tax increases when alternative funding is already available.
Alignment: Both believe in structured finances—but Paul emphasizes external opportunity before internal burden.
Nonprofit and Community Involvement
Holly Davis supports local causes in principle, but her record is more aligned with formal civic groups like chambers and planning agencies. Her presence at grassroots nonprofit events is limited or ceremonial.
Paul M. Grogan is immersed in community causes—serving, donating, and organizing through InnerBeautyMinistry.org and other local outreach programs. He supports shelters, churches, food ministries, and family resources every week. Paul’s proposed $250-per-week giving campaign is rooted in direct action and faith-based leadership.
Alignment: Paul leads with community service. Holly leads with formality and policy. Paul’s nonprofit commitment is visible, active, and personal.
