What areas of public policy are you personally passionate about?

I'm passionate about helping the people. Making the changes necessary to bring us together and unite my district. Serving my country. Preserving Florida's rich heritage and preserving our Republican leadership is more important that ever. I am a centrist to the right and if elected I won't just make noise in Washington but build those coalitions necessary to effect real change. I will fight for my district and the country wholeheartedly. I will give this race my all.

Who do you look up to? Whose example would you like to follow, and why?
