Candidate review standard

About the Audit

A municipal feasibility audit, not a campaign.

OrlandoFirst.city reviews published policy commitments the way an oversight office would review a proposed workplan: against legal authority, operating structure, and documented funding capacity. Classifications read as administrative review, not campaign messaging.

What this is

A critical examination of Anna Eskamani's public record and every independently testable campaign promise through legal authority, operational ownership, recurring funding, implementation timeline, existing program overlap, and legal or fiscal exposure.

commitments are currently in the inventory, each linked to the statute, charter provision, or budget line that determines whether the City of Orlando can actually deliver it.

What this is not

The site does not represent its operator, funding, coordination, or political-communication status as complete while the public launch gate remains open.

Not an opinion column. We do not grade ideology or whether a policy is good or bad — only whether the office of mayor can directly deliver it.

Not a claim of equal candidate coverage. The current publication is an explicit candidate-focused examination of Anna Eskamani.

Not a fact-check column. We classify implementation feasibility against published source records.

The four classifications

Every commitment is sorted into one of four operating conditions. These are implementation classifications, not value judgments.

State Preempted

— the mayor lacks direct legal authority; execution requires state action.

Mixed Authority

— parts are deliverable; the headline promise runs into preemption, fragility, or outside control.

External Coordination

— delivery depends on another board, county agency, state office, or public authority the mayor cannot compel.

Within Authority

— the city can act directly, subject to budget, staffing, and execution quality.

Source-bound by design

Every classification on the site links back to Florida statute, legislative session records, or official city budget documents.

Order-of-magnitude precision

Dollar ranges on this site are claim-level, order-of-magnitude scenarios derived from cited public comparables, per-unit costs, and City of Orlando budget records. They are not figures supplied in the published platform materials. Ranges separate a small pilot, a meaningful citywide program, and the full version implied by campaign language.
