Lacey Villareal completed Ballotpedia's Candidate Connection survey in 2026. The survey questions appear in bold and are followed by Villareal's responses.
| Collapse all
- In the Military, I took a pledge to uphold the Constitution and to fight all enemies, foreign and domestic. Looks like the fight isn't over.
- We don't need more millionaires or billionaires in politics. We need more neighbors, more workers, more Veterans. Let's put the 'WE' back in "We The People".
- After moving to Brevard upon my end of Military duty, I found a home here. I care about the people, the places, and the issues facing our area. I have spent my years in Brevard working for our community. From sitting on the Board of Directors for the Melbourne Main Street Association and volunteering to work with the Brevard County Elections, to working with local businesses in order to cultivate their identities. I look forward to working on a larger scale in order to help lower housing costs and increase the quality of life for all Floridians.
