Who are you? Tell us about yourself.

Green is my last name, and so is my life, As a wife, mother & as a small "green" business owner, I understand the environmental & economic importance of the Duval Soil & Water, & why we must protect our land, wildlife, waterways, agriculture & natural resources for generations to come. My love for people and the planet came while growing up on the eastside of Jacksonville, FL. There I experienced 1st hand the health effects & challenges of food insecurity, a weak tree canopy & unhealthy soil, water & air. This motivated me to do the work I do today to bring, education, & equitable solutions to citizens, elected officials, and families throughout the first coast.

I was motivated to run because I have always been called to action when I hear the concerns of my neighbors. Like the folk in Baldwin & the Beaches, dealing with erosion, & plastic pollution; the people in northside & east Jacksonville dealing with one of the highest rates of food insecurity & contaminated soil in the state, & those on the Southside, Westside, and ALL over Jacksonville that needs resilient solutions for the flooding they experience every day. I care & will act.

Please list below 3 key messages of your campaign. What are the main points you want voters to remember about your goals for your time in office?

• I am the ONLY group 4 that has experience working with the Duval Soil & Water Conservation District. I have been an active volunteer for over a year and attend ALL meetings because i truly care..
• I am qualified & ALREADY DOING THE WORK of supporting the board, citizens, schools, affiliates & city officials; as a subject matter expert to the Jacksonville City Council's subcommittee for resiliency, community garden leader, mentor of students, former substitute teacher, volunteer & board member of environmental organizations.
• This year you have the opportunity to elect some one that is already doing the work that other candidates plan to do. You have the opportunity to elect someone who is qualified, cares, has a platform, has a tangible plan & some one who is motivated to make a difference. I Ashantae Green, am that someone! I will work for the people & the plant, & prioritize the economy, the environment & everyone to grow #AGreenDuvalForALL.

What areas of public policy are you personally passionate about?

I am passionate about public policy regarding the environment. Specifically, soil, water, land use, resiliency, green infrastructure, agriculture, tree mitigation & equity.

Who do you look up to? Whose example would you like to follow, and why?

I look up to working people and families across the Firstcoast who are just like me, doing things both big & small to support our economy & the environment every day. to those preserving land & the trees that keep the air clean & by those protecting our groundwater that fuels the Florida aquifer & the water we all drink, to the 366 farmers in Duval county that feed us & are a part of Agriculture the 2 leading economic driver in Florida, and to the individual & organizations working hard for wildlife & to keep the St. Johns, tributaries & beaches clean to promote tourism, the 1st leading economic drive in Florida. I follow their examples for the children & future generation, like my son who has sickle cell disease, and all the children who depend on a clean environment, who play on contaminated soil& in flooded streets in our county. They remind me daily & that we should be a good steward of the environment for now & for the generations to come!

What is the first historical event that happened in your lifetime that you remember? How old were you at the time?

9/11 I was 7 years old.

What was your very first job? How long did you have it?

My 1st Job was as an Architectural Intern at a construction company during my senior year of high school. In high school, I learned about sustainability & the environmental impacts of green buildings practices.

What kind of skills or expertise do you believe would be the most helpful for the holders of this office to possess?

1. This is a community facing position, so communication & skills gained through supporting & working with citizens, communities, schools, government officials & with the Soil & Water Board would be helpful. ✅

2. Expertise in environmental topics & education would also be helpful. I am educated in sustainable construction, Sustainability Management (Louisiana State Univerity) & Sustainable Agricultural & Urban Land Management (University of Florida). ✅

3. Not only should the holders of this office bring passion, but they should also be knowledgable of issues and solutions facing soil and water, posses partnerships, and have evidence of commitment for education & being community-facing. ✅

4. The work of the office is grant-funded so fundraising & grant writing would be helpful. ✅

5. Citizens have will present an array of issues under in broad scope of topic outline in the Soil & Water Supervisor handbook, so skills in research & resourcefulness would be helpful to best assist. ✅
