April is a proud Jacksonville native, U.S. Army veteran and lifelong advocate for strong neighborhoods and smart, community-focused growth. She holds an MBA and spent over 15 years as a successful small business owner in the financial industry, bringing real-world experience in budgeting, accountability, and problem-solving to everything she does.
With decades of experience in leadership and grassroots organizing, April knows firsthand the power of listening, showing up, and building trust one conversation at a time.
April Ethridge backs Jacksonville law enforcement and will fight for public safety, from tougher action on fentanyl to stronger partnerships that deliver safer streets and real crime prevention across Duval County.
She’s running for City Council At-Large Group 4 because she believes every family deserves safe streets, a voice at the table, and real solutions—not just promises. As your voice, she’ll prioritize small business support and permitting reform, fix stormwater flooding and core infrastructure, and invest in parks, Florida-native landscaping, modern recycling, and street safety upgrades . It’s action, service, and heart—built for a safer, stronger, smarter Jacksonville.
