Coming Soon: Alachua Standard
The Alachua Standard is being launched by locals and will be a new newsletter dedicated to delivering thoughtful, principled conservative perspectives on the issues shaping Gainesville, Alachua County and the nation. In a city where progressive voices dominate the media and public discourse, The Alachua Standard offers a vital space for readers who value tradition, individual liberty, fiscal responsibility, and common-sense governance. By covering local government, education, public safety, and cultural shifts through a conservative lens, the newsletter aims to inform and empower citizens who believe in preserving core American values while thoughtfully engaging in today’s most pressing debates. The Alachua Standard is a home for reasoned voices, respectful dialogue, and a commitment to the strength of local communities.
