A new conservative coalition has formed in Brevard County, according to organizers who met last week in Cocoa. The group, which has no official name yet, says it will focus on local issues like school board elections and land-use regulations. Members include retired teachers, small business owners, and registered voters from across the county. 'We want to make sure our voices are heard,' said one attendee, who asked not to be named. The meeting took place at a community center on the east side of the county, a area with a mix of suburban and rural demographics. The coalition comes amid rising political polarization in the region, where recent elections have seen tight races for county commissioner seats. Local analysts note that Brevard’s conservative base has grown in recent years, partly due to population shifts from other parts of Florida. The group plans to hold its first public event in March, with topics including property taxes and public safety. No candidates have been formally endorsed yet, but organizers say they hope to field candidates in the 2024 election cycle. The coalition’s formation follows similar efforts in neighboring counties, where conservative groups have gained traction in recent years. A spokesperson for the group said they are still finalizing their platform but emphasized a focus on 'practical solutions' over ideological debates. The group has not yet filed for nonprofit status or registered with the state, according to county records. As of now, the coalition has no official website or social media presence. The next meeting is scheduled for February 15 at the same community center.
