By Sandra Fatmi-Hall, Candidate for Orange County Commissioner, District 2
Greetings to the residents of Apopka. To some this is an introduction and to others this is simply a reminder. My name is Sandra Fatmi-Hall and I’m running to be your next Orange County District 2 Commissioner. For the past 12 years, I’ve been an active citizen in our beloved district 2. After retiring from being a bank manager for over 17 years, I continue my passion of empowering communities one family at a time, by founding the United Foundation of Central Florida, Inc.
During my work in the nonprofit sector, I have awarded over $160,000 scholarships to roughly 200 students from Orange County and provided an additional $20,000 in support to them as they began their journeys in higher education, trade or vocational school, the military, and the workforce.

In addition to that, I have provided over 3 million meals throughout Orange County since 2015. Our work in the local schools has decreased crime and juvenile delinquency referrals, generated new funding sources, and mobilized our young people to engage in leading lives of leadership and service. I have also advocated at the county level for the development of $20 million to be established for children and family services to fund community empowerment zones in some of our county’s most stressed zip codes.
I’m running to be your next Orange County Commissioner for District 2, charting a pathway forward for our district. Doing it boldly, going to places we have never gone before! My campaign is one that is for the people by the people, that’s powered by the Three P’s: Passion, Purpose, and People. Our platform focuses on Affordable & Equitable Housing, Economic Development, and Public Safety.
Like many of you, public safety is a growing concern, and for the last 12 years, I have worked with law enforcement, community organizations, and business owners to reduce violent crimes in our most distressed zip codes. As your next county commissioner, I will continue that work. Economic Development is vital to sustainability of our communities. We will focus on entrepreneurship and small businesses, infrastructure, and enhancing prosperity and the quality of life for all residents of district 2. Affordable and Equitable Housing has been and will always be a passion of mine, I will work with our teams and divisions in Orange County to aid our residents and families to achieve the American Dream of Homeownership.
I’ve been in the streets and engaging the residents of our beloved district 2, if you’ve seen me out on the road, I hope we had the opportunity to engage one another! If we haven’t met yet, don’t worry we are still out canvassing and getting to know more people.
