This is what CIVILITY looks like.

Small farmer, native Floridian, and champion for political CIVILITY – the act of attacking issues rather than people – Banks builds consensus, namely because the current vitriolic partisan divisiveness is unsustainable for the preservation of our Democracy.

A supporter of all rights especially Woman’s reproductive sovereignty; supporter of Home Rule – legislating local solutions for local issues; supporter of economic development balanced with environmental preservation specific to water availability; supporter of mental health accessibility and affordability; supporter of less laws which brings more freedoms.

Regardless of ideology, Banks is solution minded.

Not Left. Not Right. FORWARD.

I'm With Banks!
