Mark Timothy Mandrino, Owner and President of Mandrino Enterprises LLC
I fully support Ron Armstrong as the next mayor of Jacksonville, Florida for 2027. I have known Ron for over a year, I have worked with him personally and served with him for the needy in our community and for hurricane Milton last year in Perry, Florida.
Ron and I met just wanting to help others as Christ followers and business leaders here in Jacksonville. We went to Perry and Keaton Beach FL with 75 volunteers in 2024 and fed and help the victims in that area for 3 days. I have prayed, served and witnessed Ron’s passion, his commitment to this community and I have witnessed God’s working in his life.
Jacksonville needs a leader that will not make excuses or look the other way when its citizens need the city’s help. Ron’s commitment is on display and he will be a mayor for all Jacksonville residents regardless of how they vote. His dedication is a factor with his charity and community support with Sponsored By Grace and his business. Ron always steps up when there is a need or when the call to action happens.
I believe Ron Armstrong as mayor, will surround himself with the right team to make Jacksonville the bold city it can be again for all.

Please join me in supporting Ron Armstrong for Mayor of Jacksonville in 2027. Ron is an incredible leader with a great vision for our city. He is a fearless, hardworking man of God who is not afraid to get his hands dirty.
Justin Stewart, Entrepreneur, inventor, and business owner
I have known Ron Armstrong since 2012. I met Ron while he was working at Hope’s Closet for the COE22. We instantly hit it off and started doing some fishing together off and on.
As our friendship grew closer, we started working out together about 3 times per week in 2017. During the time I’ve spent with Ron, listening to his stories and observing his love for people first hand, I share my personal testimony that Ron is a man of integrity, passion and compassion, and duty.
He was radically transformed by the power of God through Jesus Christ and the directional change in his life is evidential proof of that. He does not hide behind is faith, rather he walks it out in plain sight of the world, in the way the Bible speaks of how a true Christian should live, by the Fruits of the Spirit. I think he would make a fine mayor due to his integrity, outstanding qualities and desire to serve others.

Dear Jacksonville community,
My name is Ericka Moorer, founder of Moorstone Development. Though I’ve proudly called Jacksonville home for just over a year, this city—and its people—have already captured my heart.
One of the most eye-opening moments for me was meeting Ron Armstrong while touring the Cleveland Arms apartments—an area many overlook. But Ron didn’t just show up; he committed to being present, listening, and acting with compassion to transform that community. That’s the kind of leader he is.
Ron isn’t about wearing the right tie or fitting the mold—he cares about what matters:
Prioritizing mental health, so families have the help they need.
Revitalizing underserved neighborhoods through intentional action.
Empowering local leaders to make tangible change in their blocks
He meets people where they are—with genuine care, regardless of zip code, income level, or background.
What sets Ron apart is his authenticity. He doesn’t chase headlines or politics—he shows up, consistently. He’s a man of integrity who understands that true leadership comes from listening deeply and following through.
Having witnessed Ron’s transformative impact firsthand, I wholeheartedly believe he’s the one who can lead our city forward, not by maintaining the status quo, but by uplifting every neighborhood and voice. Let’s stop judging leaders by their appearances and start supporting leaders with a genuine heart.
Join me in supporting Ron Armstrong for Mayor. Jacksonville deserves a leader who loves its people above all else—and that leader is Ron.
With hope and conviction,
Ericka Moorer

Dear Jacksonville family and friends,
My name is Chad McGriff, and I am a local Pastor and small business owner. It is with esteemed pleasure and honor that I express my support for Ron Armstrong for Mayor of Jacksonville, FL.
From the first time we met, I knew that his compassion for others reached far beyond mere warm-hearted concern, but he expresses an authentic love for those around him. This is the type of heart that the people of this great city need to lead them; someone who cares about people above politics.
He has supported and created growth opportunities for our business, Fun Dough Cookie Co., and has even opened the doors to Grounds of Grace Coffee Shop for us to plant Saints City Church. I am beyond grateful for the impact Ron has had on me and my family, and this city would be blessed to have a mayor of his caliber.
Ron’s experience makes him strong enough to make the tough choices and hard decisions that this position requires, and also compassionate enough to understand the struggles of the everyday citizen and keep their needs a priority as well.
Ron should walk around with a badge that reads “Servant-Leader” because that truly is who he is. I encourage you to stand with Ron and support this movement to mayor because this campaign is not about an election, but about transforming a city for everyone who calls Jacksonville home.

Endorsement By Ryan Sweat, Jacksonville Pastor & Business Owner
If anyone has a story that reflects the power of God and the American ethic of hard work and
entrepreneurship, it is Ron. He came to Jacksonville with very little except addiction and brokenness.
Over the past 15 years, not only has his life changed, but he has, in turn, changed the lives of many others in our community. After turning his life over to Jesus, he immediately began investing in the Jacksonville community. He served in the church, served in the community, and has impacted so many through one-on-one relationships. He has a unique call on his life to impact this particular city.
Ron knows how to build. He knows how to get things done. About 7 or 8 years ago, he felt called to impact the most broken communities in Jacksonville. These were areas that most people avoid. Many people told him it would never work. He could not raise the money. He would not be accepted. The need was too big. But he would not take no for an answer because he had been called to do it by God!
And he has done it. He founded Sponsored By Grace, built out a domestic child sponsorship program, and has gone deep within one community, not giving up when most would have. He has raised money, established a Board of Directors, and hired a staff. And the amazing thing about Ron is that he always has vision and energy for more. He started a coffee shop to bring sustainability to his organization and to provide jobs and training for young people who need it most. He has a mobile coffee shop and multiple brick-and-mortar locations around the city.
So, when he says he is called by God to do something, I believe it. And when he says he will fight for something that seems unlikely, I trust that it will happen. I support and believe in Ron Armstrong and his vision.
Sincerely,
Ryan Sweat
