A New Kind of Representative

Let's make productive discourse the order of the day. Let's work on collaborative solutions to pressing issues and build a government that works for everyone.

I'm not a lifelong politician. I have no party affiliation. However, the things I do not have can be my greatest strengths.

I am without political baggage or outside influence. I'll be free to skip the party agenda and stick to the people's agenda.

Keeping corporate cash out of the campaign leaves me at a distinct disadvantage, and I'm fully aware the odds are against me. The chances of victory are slim, but they exist. Winning this race will require a different approach.

So I'm focusing on people instead of money - the way public service should be. I have voluntarily imposed individual campaign contribution limits, and I don't accept cash from companies. Instead, my campaign focuses on listening to the needs of Floridians. Because how you campaign is how you'll serve.

When it's safe and responsible, I will embark on a Lawton Chiles-inspired walk across the district so I can hear straight from residents what their needs are.

Oh, and I will also continue holding down a full-time job during the campaign.

This campaign is something different. I hope you find it a refreshing take on elected office. And I'd be honored to have your support, even if you don't vote for me.
