Donna Deegan was inaugurated as the 45th mayor of Jacksonville on July 1, 2023.

Mayor Donna Deegan joined us today on First Coast Connect, shortly after her 100th day in office. She discussed her work so far, as well as her goals for the future.

Among the topics Deegan addressed:

  • Her first budget

  • Gun violence
  • The appointment of Michael Fackler as general counsel after political wrangling over Deegan’s initial pick, Randy DeFoor
  • Her takeaways from conversations she’s holding in each Council district
  • Jail health care, including for the 24-year-old man whose recent arrest sparked national outrage
  • Her role in last weekend’s pride parade, after the Duval Republican Party chair accused her of participating in “child sexualization”
