City Commission candidate Staci McMonagle on the key issues - Fernandina Observer

As Fernandina Beach voters prepare for the Aug. 18 municipal election, the Fernandina Observer is running candidate profiles ahead of mail ballots arriving July 9. The series is based on responses to the same questionnaire covering issues, priorities, and leadership challenges for seats on the city commission. One profile spotlights Staci McMonagle, a candidate for City Commission Seat 4. She says she is a lifelong Floridian who has lived in Fernandina Beach for 29 years, previously running for the commission in 2022 and not being elected. McMonagle cites 10 years managing a law office and 17 years in hospitality, including five years as a concierge at the Ritz-Carlton Amelia Island. She later founded CNA Care Services LLC after entering healthcare in 2008, and highlights volunteer work with organizations including the Salvation Army Hope House Interfaith Dinner Network. The profile also outlines her stated goals for restoring public trust and supporting responsible growth.
