Steve Bateman's Bio. Some Bloggers Wanted Both Sides. So Now You See What He Stands For.

My Name is Steve Bateman. I am running for Homestead Mayor. I am a 45-year Homestead resident and a Homestead business-owner for 30 years. I have deep roots in Homestead and a strong connection to its past and a clear vision for its future. My opponent in the Mayor’s race is incumbent Mayor Lynda Bell.


I was raised in Homestead and embrace the values that Homestead holds dear. I understand Homestead’s strengths, opportunities, and challenges. Homestead is in transition and needs a strong guiding hand. I have the courage, commitment, and character to provide that new leadership.

My campaign platform includes:

· strong advocacy for Homestead’s taxpayers,

· commitment to better education,

· increased commitment to and support of local businesses,

· controlled economic growth,

· increased opportunities for Homestead’s youth, and

· a tough posture on crime.

Higher taxes, foreclosures, and local economic conditions are shattering Homestead’s
families and the American Dream on an unprecedented scale. I pledge to create the most cost-effective, efficient, and responsive government possible and to reduce Homestead’s tax burden on its residents.


Official Campaign Activities are ongoing.
