Additional comment from candidate:
Over the past 13 years I have had the personal pleasure of serving my community as a business professional, a leader in my church, a mentor and coach to many children, and a board member of two educational institutions in SW Florida. In every position, I have always been focused on the stability of the organization, and its future ability to meet its goals. With that in mind, I have decided to run for the 80th District for the Florida House of Representatives.
I believe we live in a great State, which continues to grow because of the opportunities Florida provides so that its citizens can achieve the American dream. I have personally experienced all that Florida has to offer, and I want to ensure that Florida remains the best destination for Americans seeking an outstanding quality of life.
