I offer my candidacy as a continuation of the public service that has meant so much in my life. I have spent nearly 30 years in law enforcement, a lifetime involved in agriculture, and have always had a footprint in education in both the K-12 and higher education fields.

I am pro-life, pro-gun, and anti-tax. I will always protect our Second Amendment. I am responsible, accountable, and fiscally conservative. I know how to live within a budget. As a Governor's appointed board of trustee member at Florida Gateway College, we oversee an over $28 million dollar annual budget without ever having adverse audit findings.

We make tough personnel, facility, and budget decisions each month without raising tuition and fees for our students in several years. We also have been able to give our employees a raise almost every year I have been on the board, something of which I am very proud.
