Dear Friends,
Our state has faced some tough times in recent years. However, I am committed to facing Florida’s challenges in a conservative and responsible manner that encourages economic growth and keeps government spending and taxes under control. I believe in a government that operates efficiently and effectively and spends your tax dollars wisely.
Now more than ever, we have an opportunity to bring needed reforms to Florida’s government. I will use my business background to bring a common sense approach to Tallahassee to address the challenges facing our state.
Thank you for your support! I hope I can count on your vote this November.
Sincerely,
