Cornelia Downing Manfre has announced she is running for mayor of Palm Coast.
Manfre, a Palm Coast resident for 25 years, said she has the leadership skills for the position and 40 years of business attracting commercial and industrial tax base, according to a press release. This is Manfre's second run at a Palm Coast City Council position, having run for the District 3 seat in 2020.
Manfre is a real estate professional with Sotheby's International Realty and the wife of former Flagler County Sheriff James Manfre. Manfre said she believes in a transparent government based on customer service that solves problems for its residents.
The last three years under Mayor David Alfin has been "chaos and confusion," she said, calling herself the "antidote to the inept leadership of Mayor Alfin."
Manfre said poor planning has caused the city's swales and roads to be ignored and placed the city's sewer capacity in an "emergency situation," the press release said.
"I represent the change the citizens of Palm Coast are demanding at City Hall," she said.
