"Give to us clear vision that we may know where to stand and what to stand for - because unless we stand for something,we shall fall for anything."

                    Peter Marshal

Whether you agree with me some or all of the time, it's important that you have the opportunity to know and understand the decisions and votes I have made on your behalf as your Representative in the Florida Legislature. 

One of the ways to effectively communicate my reasoning and the  principles that form the basis of my decisions, is to  make regular contributions to the Tallahassee Democrat and other publications in the area.

These position papers are offered here for your information.
