Meet Chris & District 5
Deltona resident, father, veteran, and public affairs researcher

Who Is Running for Deltona District 5?
Christopher M. Bellingham is running for the Deltona City Commission seat representing District 5, one of five commission districts that make up the City of Deltona, Florida. City commissioners represent their district's residents on decisions covering local infrastructure, parks and public spaces, the city budget, and day-to-day municipal government — the issues that show up on your street, at your park, and in your city services.
Chris is a Deltona resident, a combat medic veteran, and a public affairs doctoral researcher running on a simple platform: fix the basics and rebuild civic pride. That means well-maintained roads and infrastructure, investment in parks and community spaces, disciplined fiscal stewardship of public dollars, and a transparent, accountable city commission that shows up for District 5 residents.
