Smart Leadership. Real Progress.

William Dabbs is running for Mayor to bring responsible growth, financial transparency, and data-driven solutions to the heart of Apopka—while protecting what makes our city home.

Smart Growth, Not Just Expansion

We’ll strengthen our city center by attracting businesses that create jobs, generate revenue, and help offset homeowner taxes—without sacrificing Apopka’s green spaces.

No More Surprise Rate Hikes

By using predictive analytics, we can identify financial trends early and avoid drastic increases like the 23.75% water bill spike in 2024.

A Neighbor, Not a Politician

William Dabbs combines real-world business and tech experience with a genuine love for Apopka. He’s not running on party lines—but on a vision to make the city more efficient, transparent, and vibrant for all.

My Plan to Move Apopka Forward

Apopka deserves thoughtful leadership that combines growth with responsibility. My plan focuses on smart development, financial stability, and modernized city services—all without losing the character that makes our city home.

Revitalize Our City Core

Attract new businesses to strengthen downtown, fill vacant spaces, and make Apopka a more vibrant place to live, work, and visit.

Expand the City Center

Push development beyond what’s already in place to unlock economic potential and reduce the cost of city services.

Protect Homeowners

Use increased business tax revenue to ease the burden on residents and curb the need for annual property tax hikes.

Preserve Our Green Spaces

Ensure that growth is balanced with sustainability to maintain Apopka’s natural charm.

Prevent Future Rate Hikes

Apply predictive analytics to forecast utility costs and avoid surprises like the 23.75% water rate increase passed in 2024.

Modernize City Services

Update Apopka’s website and processes to enable paperless submissions, cut costs, and reduce wait times.

I’m Not a Politician—Just a Neighbor Who Cares Deeply About Apopka

I’m running for Mayor not to build a political career, but to help shape a stronger, smarter future for the community my family and I are proud to call home. With years of experience in business and analytics, I believe I can bring a practical, thoughtful approach to city leadership—grounded in data, driven by results.

From Tech Leadership to Public Service

I was raised in Tennessee and started my professional journey in Information Technology. I earned a Bachelor of Science in Database Administration and later a Master’s in Business. Over time, I moved into leadership roles in the tech industry and eventually found my niche in analytics—helping organizations make more informed, efficient decisions using data.

Nearly four years ago, my family and I made Apopka our home—and we plan to stay here for good. As I became more involved in the community, I saw challenges that concerned me: slow progress on our City Center, the lack of a thriving downtown business core, and a need for greater transparency. I believe Apopka deserves better—and I want to be part of that change.

Here’s What I’ll Focus On as Mayor:

Revitalize Downtown

Attract and support small businesses while preserving Apopka’s green spaces and natural charm

Use Data to Drive Smart Decisions

Apply analytics to prevent sudden service hikes like the recent 23.75% increase in water bills (was to be 40%).

Protect Homeowners

Keep property taxes stable by growing our business tax base through thoughtful economic development.

Modernize City Operations

Implement technology to cut costs, streamline processes, and better serve residents.

Let’s Shape Apopka’s Future—Together

I can’t do this alone. Whether you spread the word, volunteer, or simply stay informed, your support makes all the difference.

Your Voice. Your City. Your Choice.

This campaign is powered by people like you—residents who care about where Apopka is headed. Together, we can create a city that works smarter, grows responsibly, and stays true to its roots.
