District 3:
Commissioner J. Blake Capps represents southern Martin County, including Hobe Sound and Indiantown, as well as a portion of Tequesta.
Commissioner Capps moved to Hobe Sound in 1977, at the age of 13. In 1988, he graduated from the University of Florida with a BA in history, and, in 1991, from Mercer University with his law degree.
Prior to his election as District 3 commissioner in 2024, he served on the Hobe Sound Neighborhood Advisory Committee, the Martin County Community Redevelopment Agency, the Metropolitan Planning Organization Citizens Advisory Committee, the Local Planning Agency, and as the President of the Hobe Sound Chamber of Commerce.
Commissioner Capps enjoys the opportunity to make a difference in the community he loves and appreciates the constant learning experiences – from preparing for meetings to interacting daily with residents and county staff.
One of the highlights of his tenure thus far was a trip to Washington, D.C. to advocate for Everglades restoration. Another high point was his graduation from the Certified County Commissioner Program offered by the Florida Institute for County Government (ICG).
Commissioner Capps and his brother own and manage Capps Roofing, Inc. a local family business. Blake, his wife Robin of 40 years, his three adult children, his son-in-law, and his grandson all reside in Hobe Sound.
