Dear Neighbor, I have been married to my high school sweetheart, Bill, since 1966; and I know he truly has a servant’s heart. My husband has a genuine desire to serve our communities and fight for our shared values. He is personally committed to making the Space and Treasure Coasts the best places to work and live. Time after time, he has rolled up his sleeves to get the job done for us, like working across the aisle to form the Congressional Estuary Caucus to help ensure funding to clean up our lagoon, and reauthorize important algae bloom research projects. He has always been an honest and reliable leader – which is a crucial trait for our representatives to have – we don’t see enough of that these days. Bill is also committed to making sure government works for us, the people. In fact, he cut his own Congressional office budget by nearly $1 million, refuses the Congressional pay increase passed before he took office, and has worked to hold lobbyists accountable in Washington. A Washington newspaper even nicknamed him “Mr. Accountability.” He leads by example. For Bill, people matter, not profit. Our communities are important to us. It is where we went to school, married, chose to start our business and raise our family. Every day, he fights to make our country and communities better. I have never known a more dedicated hard worker. I admit to wondering how he manages to stay so strong in what has become a very toxic political environment. In recent weeks attacks on his personal character and integrity have been particularly dishonest and hurtful. But he says the future of America is worth it, and he reminds me that our challenges pale compared to those of our nation’s founders and our current military families. I always thought it was important for candidates to have demonstrated the willingness and ability to serve their communities BEFORE they seek election. Here are a few of the ways Bill has served our communities long before asking anyone to elect him to Congress:
This is a small glimpse of what I have seen throughout our over 50 years of marriage – this is the servant’s heart that he has brought serving those who call the Space and Treasure Coasts home. This election, I humbly ask for you to support my husband, Congressman Bill Posey, so he can continue to fight for us in Washington. Warmest Regards,
Katie Posey |
