Who Is Ken Spalthoff? The Record Behind the District 2 Candidate
Before you vote for Winter Springs District 2 on November 3rd, see what the public record shows: a police report filed by his own HOA, a $3,025 settlement, and a forced resignation from the Planning & Zoning Board.
Ken Spalthoff wants to represent Winter Springs on the City Commission in District 2. Voters deserve to know who's asking for their trust, so here's what the public record shows.
The police report, the settlement and his own words, in under a minute. Full record at whoiskenspalthoff.com.
His own HOA called the police
In 2017, Ken's own homeowners association reported him to the Winter Springs Police Department. A contractor, Justin Herring of Florida Land Experts, told police that Ken directed him to pad invoices so Ken could take a cut, an estimated $2,500.
The emails filed with the HOA's lawsuit speak for themselves:
"Make it happen and charge the HOA $200. Throw me $50 when you get paid."
"I'll need my $1100 ASAP."
He paid to settle
The State Attorney's Office found no probable cause for a criminal charge, and that case was closed. The HOA's civil lawsuit didn't go away, though. In 2020, Ken paid the HOA $3,025 in mediation and court costs to settle it.
Forced off the Planning & Zoning Board
While he served on the city's Planning & Zoning Board, Ken accused a sitting commissioner of harassment and filed an ethics complaint. The complaint was rejected as unfounded, and Ken was forced to resign from the board.
How he talks to residents
Online, Ken has called people "clowns," "scumbags," and "con-men." A long list of residents say he bans or blocks them as soon as they disagree with him.
