This month we proudly celebrate local heroes who selflessly dedicate their lives to safeguarding our communities. 

These extraordinary individuals—firefighters, paramedics, police officers and others—exemplify courage, commitment and compassion as they put themselves in harm’s way to keep us safe and secure.

Consider this edition of Style to be a great big “thank you!” 

Dozens of local heroes deserve to appear on our cover. After much discussion, we selected Stephen Davis, a former firefighter/chief who has transitioned into a powerful advocate for liberty. After reading his remarkable story, we think you’ll agree he is worthy to represent the men and women who bravely serve and protect, often without fanfare or recognition. 

Chief Davis is no longer on active duty, but his mission to uphold our constitutional rights remains as vital as ever. These rights, including freedom of speech, the right to a fair trial and freedom of assembly are the foundation of our democracy.

His story reminds us that speaking out is not merely a right; it is a duty we owe to ourselves and future generations. By raising our voices against injustices and supporting those who bravely stand up for our freedoms, we safeguard principles that define us as a free society. Chief Davis’ advocacy work highlights the importance of vigilance and active participation in preserving the values that make our nation great.

As we approach upcoming local elections, we encourage you to take the time to learn about the candidates featured in this issue of Style Magazine. Hear their messages, understand their visions, and decide who you believe will best serve your community. Your vote is your voice, and it is a powerful tool to uphold our Constitution and values. Use it wisely to shape the future of our society.

With July upon us, and as we celebrate Independence Day, let’s take a moment to honor the incredible country we call home. May your celebrations be safe, and may they serve as a reminder of the freedoms and opportunities we cherish.

God bless America!
