FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

St. Johns County Republican Liberty Caucus Endorses Commissioner Krista Keating-Joseph for Re-Election in District 4

ST. AUGUSTINE, Fla. — July 22, 2026 — The St. Johns County Republican Liberty Caucus is proud to endorse Commissioner Krista Keating-Joseph for re-election to the St. Johns County Board of County Commissioners, District 4.

The Republican Liberty Caucus advances individual liberty, limited government, fiscal responsibility and constitutional principles. Commissioner Keating-Joseph has earned this endorsement through four years of keeping faith with the residents who elected her, standing up to special interests and consistently voting for accountable, resident-focused county government.

“Krista Keating-Joseph is the rare elected official who has done exactly what she promised voters she would do,” said Sean Carpenter, chair of the St. Johns County Republican Liberty Caucus. “She has been a steadfast champion for St. Johns County residents in the face of constant pressure from developers and an often-hostile commission majority. She has never stopped fighting for the people who sent her to represent them.”

Commissioner Keating-Joseph has also delivered tangible results for taxpayers and responsible government. As chair of the Board of County Commissioners, she successfully advocated for a property-tax reduction that passed unanimously. Under her chairmanship, the county also approved a new comprehensive plan on time with a unanimous vote.

She has consistently opposed unchecked overdevelopment and has worked to protect St. Johns County’s quality of life. Commissioner Keating-Joseph voted against allowing data centers in the county. Although that initial motion failed on a 3–2 vote, subsequent action resulted in staff research into a one-year moratorium.

“Commissioners Keating-Joseph and Taylor have shown what principled leadership looks like,” Carpenter said. “With Krista’s re-election and Martin Pyszczymuka’s election in District 2, St. Johns County has an opportunity to establish a resident-focused majority committed to responsible growth, fiscal discipline and accountable government.”

The St. Johns County Republican Liberty Caucus encourages Republican and liberty-minded voters to support Commissioner Krista Keating-Joseph for re-election in the Aug. 18 primary election.
