Dear Friends and Supporters,
Thank you for your support and generosity during the past 15 months of our campaign. Due in large part to your overwhelming support, no other candidate qualified for the race, and today (June 20th at Noon), the final day of qualifying for state house races, we achieved our long awaited victory!
Please visit my web site periodically for updates and events.
I am looking forward to serving the people of Florida House District 88 in November. Change is coming, thanks to you!
Sincerely,
Mark

My grandmother worked for Congressman Claude Pepper in Miami Beach. As a boy, I remember going with my mother to visit him during the 1960s. When he asked me what I wanted to be when I grew up, I replied "I still want to be Mark."
Remaining true to my principles, I have been inspired and motivated to serve my community in public office by Congressman Pepper's legacy of hard work, activism and integrity. By asking himself "What have I done today to lighten the burden of those who suffer?" Congressman Pepper fought to make the voices of his Florida neighbors heard.
I am dedicated to making sure that the actions of Florida's legislature reflect the wishes and needs of the people. My own experience as a legislative assistant to State Representative Lois Frankel allows me to hit the ground running and effectively represent my constituents. I am well-versed and experienced in the art of building support for important issues, drafting bills, caucusing with fellow legislators, and passing important bills and amendments.
I am committed to providing the people of House District 88 with access to the political process and with a voice in policy-making at the state level. My candidacy is based on a genuine concern for the well-being of my family, my neighbors and my community.
My wonderful wife Tracy and my children -- Audrey and Brendan -- are my number one motivation to devote time and energy to public service. It is vitally important to me that my children have the opportunity to learn in safe schools, receive a quality education, develop a deep appreciation for the outdoors, and enjoy their lives as young people.
I pledge to fight the powerful corporate and special interests tactics which are now threatening the Florida legislature's ability to design a sound budget which addresses the needs of Florida residents both today and in the future. |
