I live here in Orlando Florida and this guy - Siplin - is a real gem.

Dear Friends:

Thank God and you for allowing me to serve as your State Senator for District 19.

District 19 is indeed a true reflection of America. It is comprised of African, Haitian, Hispanics, and Anglo- Americans. Many of the residents are average working class Americans who love their country, community and family and help make Orange County the number one tourist destination. Because of the diversity of this district, we have a variety of issues that range from business development, immigration, prescription drugs, education, transportation, taxes and health care.

As a State Senator, I try to ameliorate these issues by setting up commissions, task forces, and boards, as well as by conducting seminars, workshops, summits and job fairs. I also host an Annual Labor Day Family Picnic where we have given over ten thousand school supplies to needy students, free food, entertainment and clothes and shoes and an annual Christmas Toy Giveaway which provides toys to many of your neighbors.
I am pleased to announce that my colleagues and I passed a budget that included $400,000 for the Professional Opportunities Program for Students (POPS), which allowed 70 teens to be enrolled in a program providing mentoring and apprenticeship for a year and summer jobs paying $10 an hour.

This website contains information on my legislative actions and district activities. Please take a few minutes to review my website. Please call, write or come by and visit my office. Let me know about the work we are doing in Tallahassee.

It is an honor to serve as your State Senator. I look forward to continuing to represent you in the years to come.

God bless you.
Gary
