READ ALL THE FACTS on Victor Sims's positions on taxes and spending
Finding: DOCUMENTED: on the record at candidate forums.
At the 2026 PEA candidate screening, Victor Sims said he supported the district's 1-mill property tax measure — roughly $80 million from Polk homeowners, which he described as "only $250 a year." He has also embraced the district's DEI programming — asked at a public forum, he said he supports "almost all of it." Polk homeowners already pay some of the fastest-rising property taxes in Florida, and the school board is the lever that pulls directly on the bill. Polk voters who believe every millage request deserves a skeptical look deserve to know where he stood before the election — not after.
