Cattlemen from Christmas, FL, have celebrated Cracker Christmas during the first weekend of December since 1979.

It’s been a busy couple of months in my office connecting constituents with resources that are available to them during these unforeseen times. On the county level, I’m proud to say we have secured gloves and masks to donate to organizations in the front line providing food in my district. We have also expanded some testing sites in Orange County for COVID-19 and are now offering childcare services to first responders. We continue to fund many of the resources provided to the public, such as food banks, financial assistance, and health care services. I continue to work with businesses, non-profits, and other government partners to expand and bring the residents more services and resources.
