Born and raised in the small town of Londonderry, New Hampshire, Michael C. Minardi discovered his passions in life: politics and the law. When Michael was just 11 years old, he witnessed the death of his father due to a fatal heart attack. He was raised by his passionate and fiery Italian mother, who worked hard to keep food on the table and a roof over their heads. In 2003 he lost his mother to lung cancer. The difficulties he went through made him who he is today. Michael is, and has always been, passionate about his desire to represent the people in the legislature to help create a better life for everyone. He has been an attorney for over 20 years defending those who are unable to defend themselves and fighting for what he thinks is right. He is ready to listen to his constituents’ problems and to do those things that are necessary to make the State of Florida better for us all. The main issues of the Campaign are Criminal Justice Reform, Infrastructure and Education, and protecting our environment.
  • We will continue to stand up for people's rights and keep Florida free.
  • We need to make changes to the criminal justice system to better protect our citizens from violence.
  • We need to make sure all children have access to a quality education and the support and classes they need to have a successful future.
Protecting out rights as individuals to be able to live free as our founding fathers intended, Criminal justice reform, including cannabis legaliztion, the environment, and education reform.
