ABOUT JIM TRAUTZ

Hi, I'm Jim

WHO I AM

I am Jim Trautz, and I am running for the position of Osceola County Supervisor of Elections. I have been an active member of the community wherever I have lived, working to ensure that every voice is heard and our freedoms are preserved. As a newer resident of Osceola County, I bring a fresh perspective and vision to our community.  

Like you, I share a love of this country, and I am committed to ensuring that every legal vote is counted, and every citizen's voice is heard through our election process.​

Whether on the battlefield, where I proudly served for more than 20 years as an Officer in the United States Navy, or in the community as a driving force for candidates or as a board member, I have a proven track record of taking on the toughest challenges and bringing honesty and integrity at all times.

MY EXPERIENCE

Advancing through the ranks of the United States Navy, I retired after more than 20 years of service. Following that my career has taken me through many journeys, including as an ordained minister, where I was privileged to serve a congregation in both Southern and Northern Virginia. I also led the foreign military sales contract for a major defense contractor, which brings me unique understanding of the government financial planning and execution process.

Through it all, I have been involved in working on campaigns, serving on various boards in the community in which I lived, and I have held a variety of paid and unpaid positions.

Since coming to Florida in 2021, I have served as a poll watcher and have volunteered on numerous political campaigns. My experience has given me a deep understanding of the election process and the importance of fair and transparent elections.
