The Mayor's Office Series

John Hawley

Jul 1, 2026

The Mayor’s Office Series- People. Salaries. Decisions. Results.


Jacksonville’s Mayor’s Office influences billions of dollars in public spending, appoints key members of city government and boards, establishes administrative priorities, and helps shape how City Hall communicates with the public. The Mayor’s Office series follows those decisions beyond individual headlines to examine how the executive branch operates and changes over time.

Our reporting tracks staffing and salaries, budgets, appointments, organizational growth, policy priorities, public communications, transparency and measurable taxpayer outcomes. Where useful, we compare current practices with previous administrations and other public-sector benchmarks to provide additional context.

Use the articles below to explore individual investigations and analyses or follow the series as it develops. Together, they provide an ongoing record of who is making decisions inside Jacksonville City Hall, how public resources are being used, what priorities are being established, and what results taxpayers can evaluate.
