District 3:
Southern Martin County is represented by Commissioner J. Blake Capps and includes Hobe Sound and Indiantown, as well as a portion of Tequesta.
Commissioner Capps moved to Hobe Sound in 1977 when he was 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 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 is off to a great start in his first year of public service. He enjoys the opportunity to make a difference in the community he loves and truly appreciates the constant learning experiences – from preparing for meetings to interacting daily with residents and county staff.
One of the highlights this year 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 Institute for County Government (ICG).
Commissioner Capps and his brother own and manage Capps Roofing, Inc., a local family business. Blake and Robin, his wife of 40 years, his three adult children, and his son-in-law all reside in Hobe Sound.
