Jodi James
Candidate for Florida House of Representatives  District 31

 
INTRODUCTION
Statement from the candidate
"My name is Jodi James; I seek to be the next Representative to the Florida House from District 31. 

I believe that a strong nation is made up of healthy, educated people. I believe in programs that begin in the neighborhoods; putting communities first. I believe in the individual, in their ability to make good choices and holding individuals accountable for those choices. I believe in the creative power of people working together and limited Government power over citizens. 

I believe in the American system of Governing; that it is through active participation in government that the people gain their voice. 

I believe that the sole role of Government is to provide its citizens the basic tools to succeed and prosper. If you are interested in finding out more about the issues we will address during this race, please spend a moment enjoying our site."
