Florida State Senate District 8
PictureKeith Perry
​A Message From Keith: North Central Florida is my home. I started my roofing business here when I was 18, and it’s where my two incredible daughters have grown up. I've also been blessed to serve as President of the House of Hope – a Christian-based rehabilitation program for newly-released prisoners.
I believe in this community – that we have some of the brightest and hardest working individuals in all of Florida living here. I’m proud of all the local startups, as well as everyone that’s putting in the daily effort that makes where we live one of the greatest places in the world – and I really believe it is.
If I haven’t had the chance to meet you in person yet, I hope that will change soon. Feel free to get a hold of me anytime at keith@votekeithperry.com.   Read more: facebook

       District 3
PictureTommy Stilwell
My decision to run as a Republican candidate for Putnam County Commissioner  District  3 was made after receiving much encouragement from respectful lifelong residents of Putnam County and after learning that Putnam County has fallen to the poorest county in the state of Florida this past year.  Putnam County was once a respectful, thriving community in which I grew up, during the late 60’s and throughout the 70’s. 
I want to dedicate my time and efforts  in making Putnam County great again and the best way I know to accomplish this goal, is serving as a Republican  County Commissioner.   After receiving the required number of signed petitions, due to a great deal of effort from concerned volunteers, proved to me that this is an endeavor I must pursue.  Read more:   Facebook
