Honored to receive FICPA’s 2026 Legislative Impact Award!
I believe good government means listening to the professionals who do the work, promoting transparency and accountability, and rejecting one size fits all mandates.
Grateful for this recognition and proud to serve the people of District 81! 🇺🇸 – at Orlando, FL
