Civility, What Happened?

Coming Together on 911 – Civility. What Happened?

I remember when red and blue were integral colors of the American flag, before they became political and ideological dividing lines, before each claimed to be the only “home team,” and before they prevented us from civilly engaging with each other.

I am running because CIVILITY is the New Path Ahead.

As a native Floridian, I love this state. As a resident of South Lake County, I love farming and teaching sustainability to this community. As a Candidate for State House, I love finding solutions to the issues of our time.

I'm With Banks!
