In 2012, I was honored to be elected to my first term serving our friends and neighbors in the Florida Keys and South Miami-Dade County. As a fiscal conservative, I worked hard to ensure that our spending is targeted, efficient and cost effective.

With our low unemployment and strong tourism numbers, our home has become a “donor” region to Tallahassee. Holly believes it’s time for us to start getting back our fair share from Tallahassee and is fighting on our behalf for funding for infrastructure, schools and environmental restoration.
