Florida takes steps to protect its most vulnerable populations
Legislation targeting financial scofflaws unanimously passes Senate
Florida has been hit hard by the global economic recession. Today, more than ever before, there is a need for experienced leadership in Tallahassee. Our community needs a trusted leader who has successfully led the state out of previous budgetary crises.
My career in government leadership spans more than three decades; from the House of Representatives to the Florida Senate and the Board of County Commissioners of Miami-Dade County. During my tenure in the Legislature I chaired the Appropriations Committee and the Finance and Tax Committee where I helped guide the state from economic distress to renewed prosperity. I was chair of the Miami-Dade County Commission for 6 years.
I have long supported ethics legislation, government in the sunshine and the rights of women and the elderly and know that I can make a difference for the people of Florida and District 35.
I’m asking for your help to bring my leadership and experience back to the Florida Senate.
I ask you to cast your vote - early, absentee or on Election Day - for the future of our community and State. I promise I’ll bring honesty, integrity and a lifetime of valuable experience to the Senate and, together, we’ll work though these troubling times.
