Daytona Beach, FL — In a move that blends public service experience with corporate responsibility, Joshua Byrd, former Chief Financial Officer of the Lewis presidential campaign, has been nominated to serve on the Safety Committee at Amazon’s Daytona Beach fulfillment center.
The nomination comes as Amazon continues to expand its footprint in Volusia County, with the five-story distribution hub on Beville Road expected to employ over 1,000 workers. Byrd’s appointment reflects a growing emphasis on internal safety culture and employee-led oversight at one of the region’s largest employers.
“Joshua brings a unique blend of fiscal discipline and ethical leadership to the table,” said a source familiar with the nomination. “His background in campaign finance and community advocacy positions him well to help shape a safer, more transparent workplace.”
The Safety Committee at Amazon is tasked with identifying hazards, improving training protocols, and fostering communication between management and frontline workers. Byrd’s nomination follows a series of community concerns about traffic and infrastructure surrounding the facility, making internal safety leadership more critical than ever.
Byrd previously served as CFO for the Lewis Campaign, known for its principled conservatism and LGBTQIA+ inclusion. His transition from political finance to corporate safety reflects a broader trend of civic-minded professionals entering private sector roles with public impact.
