counties. Levy County has been home since 1994, when I married Angela Quincey 30 years ago, and where we raised our four children. I attended Alachua County Schools and Graduated from PK Yonge in 1988. I am the son of a REA Lineman/High School football coach (Coach OJ) and an insurance commercial account manager. I am a 1993 graduate of the University of Florida, College of Ag, with a degree in Food & Resource Economics. I was appointed to the Levy County Commission in 2009, then re-elected to the County Commission in 2010 and served through 2014. I am past president of the Levy County Farm Bureau and the Florida Auctioneers Association. I have served on various boards and committees including the National Auctioneers Association political Advocacy Committee, Florida Cattlemen’s Association, Florida Board of Realtors and the Dixie Gilchrist Levy Board of Realtors. I have actively supported numerous associations and groups throughout the
district and the state with time and talents through our auction business. I hold a State of Fl. Auctioneers License, and a State of Fl Brookers Associate License. I am a the pro-business candidate that has always lived in this district.- I am a firm believer in American Capitalism, limited
government, and fiscal responsibility. I am an advocate for private property rights and individual liberty, and a proponent of Parental Rights in
all aspects from healthcare to education. I have been endorsed by the Associated Industries of Florida, Americans for Prosperity, Fl. Chamber of Commerce, Fraternal Order of Police, Gainesville Fire & Rescue, and the Florida Association of Nurses. - I believe agriculture is part of Florida's DNA and that Agriculture is part of our National Security. Americas ability to provide a safe reliable food source is paramount to our future and this nation owes its success to agriculture. Prior to Bidenomics, the American family, on average, spend less than 12% of their gross disposable income on food and this has allowed us to invest in advanced medicines, and technologies to improve our quality of life. Florida's greenspaces, environment and natural resources are dependent on the positive conservation obtained through agriculture.
- As an economist, I understand the trials of sporadic growth, increased burden of regulations, and margins of diminishing returns. I know the challenges of increasing governmental service demands with the desire of reduced taxes, while inflation runs rampant. It is imperative that our approach be sound in judgment, with fiscal diligence, and proven leadership.

Scorecards
A scorecard evaluates a legislator’s voting record. Its purpose is to inform voters about the legislator’s political positions. Because scorecards have varying purposes and methodologies, each report should be considered on its own merits. For example, an advocacy group’s scorecard may assess a legislator’s voting record on one issue while a state newspaper’s scorecard may evaluate the voting record in its entirety.
Ballotpedia is in the process of developing an encyclopedic list of published scorecards. Some states have a limited number of available scorecards or scorecards produced only by select groups. It is Ballotpedia’s goal to incorporate all available scorecards regardless of ideology or number.
