Joshua Wostal is a successful entrepreneur, decorated veteran, and passionate advocate for disadvantaged children. He owns and operates a shipping and printing business located next to Raymond James Stadium. Wostal served our country in the Navy for 10 years and received the Navy Commendation for acts of courage during Taliban attacks on his forward operating base. He has a heart for disadvantaged children and gives back to local children advocacy groups and causes. He and his wife live in the Westchase area of Hillsborough County with a son and 3 rescue pets. Wostal is running to bring accountability and transparency to Hillsborough County government. He will stop the wasteful spending and ensure our tax dollars are finally being used to fix our county’s crumbling infrastructure.
  • End Wasteful Spending
  • Stop The Tax Hikes
  • Fix Our Crumbling Infrastructure
High taxes hurt working families and seniors throughout the county. Seniors on fixed incomes are being taxed out of their homes. Families already living paycheck-to-paycheck are now struggling to get by. Young couples aren’t able to afford to begin their families. Entrepreneurs can’t start their own businesses. Poverty is increasing in the county. Residents are going across state lines to buy homes and make purchases. All this, and we aren’t even fixing our roads.

Why? It’s simple: the county board wants to force everyone onto public transportation. They are pushing all available funding into building a light rail system, copying an “equity lens” plan from the City of San Francisco. This despite 96% of county residents in a recent county survey stating they won’t ride a train or bus, even if one is made available.

It’s time we stood up to a government that clearly does not care about working families in our county.
