Tag’s Priorities
Tag Yarnell is a Constitutional Conservative who will make decisions based on his faith and reverence to America’s founding principles.
Lower Taxes
Tag believes your money belongs in your pocket, not the government’s. The lower the taxes, the more money individuals and businesses will have to spend in growing a strong and resilient economy. He understands less government spending equates to less taxes, and is ready to fight for you to keep more of your hard-earned money.
Protect Individual Liberties and Property Rights
Tag believes in the basic principles of life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness. As a Constitutional Conservative, Tag will view every decision through the lens of freedom first. He will oppose any policies that infringe upon individual liberties or impede our property rights and will fight to protect our inalienable rights and liberties.
Protecting Our Natural Resources
As Collier County grows, our natural resources become burdened. Tag will work to build a thriving community where environmental conservation and economic growth go hand in hand without jeopardizing property rights or our unique and pristine natural environment. Tag also understands the role water quality plays in our way of life and local economy. He will work closely with federal, state, and local officials to restore and protect our local waterways.
Enhance Infrastructure to Meet Our Growing Needs
Collier County is one of the most desirable places to live and visit in all of America. As our population grows, so does the strain on our core infrastructure, such as roads and utilities. Tag will prioritize upgrading and improving necessary projects to meet the needs of our growing community.
Support Our First Responders
Tag is committed to providing our law enforcement officers, fire fighters, and paramedics the tools and resources they need and deserve to ensure Collier County is the safest place to live, work, and visit in the nation.
