“President Trump is a once-in-a-generation leader, a master dealmaker, real estate titan, and the greatest president of our time,” Herold said on the campaign’s website<\/a>. “As the first president to call Florida home, it\u2019s time we honor his extraordinary legacy by establishing Florida\u2019s 68th county: Trump County \u2013 a lasting testament to his impact on our state and nation.”<\/p>\n The proposed 60-mile stretch of land for Trump County would start at the northern point of Anastasia Island and end at the south end of the Ponce Inlet, Herold said in a YouTube video.<\/a><\/p>\n It would include the barrier islands in parts of St. John’s, Flagler and Volusia counties, according to Herold. The new county would contain approximately 60,000 residents, Herold said.<\/p>\n “Imagine the most beautiful 60-mile stretch of the coastline here in Florida, giving it its own county, and naming it after President Trump. That’s Trump County,” Herold said in a YouTube video. <\/p>\n Herold said the idea for Trump County occurred to her following additional taxes being passed on the barrier island by Flagler County Commissioners, calling it “taxation without representation.”<\/p>\n “I’m a neighbor in my neighborhood who is kind of tired of paying for the dunes that I can’t vote on,” Herold said.<\/p>\n As of Nov. 25, Herold’s petition has 52 signatures out of its goal of 500.<\/p>\n While it is possible to create a new county, it would require action from the Florida legislature and the governor. <\/p>\n Herold, who lives in Flagler County, holds an occupational therapy doctorate degree. She also ran as a Republican for a seat in the Ohio state House of Representatives in 2016, but lost in the primary to Thomas Patton. <\/p>\n
