Dear Friends,

Thank you for taking the time to visit my web site and for your interest in my campaign to represent one of the most unique, complex and wonderful parts of the great state of Florida: Senate District 16.

I have had the great pleasure of being a resident and small business owner in this community for over three decades and had the proud distinction of serving Florida’s families and businesses as a member of the Florida Senate between 1994 and 2002.

Living and working in this community has given me important experience and insight to the people and businesses here and to the issues that are important to them. My proven record in Tallahassee shows that I have the ability to get things done there to solve the problems facing our region and state.

It is obvious to me that, largely because of what has been going on in Washington, there are many people in Florida and in our district who have a lack of confidence in, or even distrust of, government. I will dedicate myself to helping restore that confidence by returning to the basics that made our country the greatest nation in the world, including strict adherence to our Constitution.

We need principled leaders who are committed to representing the people of our communities and not the special interests. I will do my best to lead by example!

If given the honor to serve Senate District 16, I will be an unrelenting advocate for creating economic growth, stability and opportunity for our residents; I will support all resources available to improve education excellence for our children, protect our citizens, businesses and consumers; and I will continue to defend our environmental treasures with unmatched strength and resolve.

Thank you for considering my candidacy, and I hope that I can count on you to support me for Senate District 16. During the months ahead I welcome your questions, suggestions, and opinions. Always feel free to email me or call me.

Sincerely,

Jack Latvala
Candidate, State Senate District 16
