Julio Gonzalez is a Republican candidate for Florida House of Representatives District 74

Our Republic's health is dependent on people from each community, comprised of all walks of life to bring their experiences and insights to unite them as one as the common body of knowledge that we recognize as the legislature.  In 2012, long before our opponent arrived to our region, I volunteered to do just that.  I recognized that as a small business owner, a veteran and an orthopedic surgeon who has been serving our community for the past 10 years, I was in a unique position to truly serve the people of South Sarasota County by representing their interests in Tallahassee. 

I envision a Florida where small businesses flourish.  A Florida where individuals discover their passions and take them, unencumbered, to market.  I see a state where our children are taught the lessons they need to succeed in a school system unparalleled to any other.  I envision a region where people chase their dreams while enjoying the freshest and most pristine waters graced by the most unique habitats on earth.  And most importantly, I envision a Florida that serves as the beacon for the rest of our great country as it searches for a way to wade towards an uncertain future.  Since 2009, I have fought on the frontlines for the causes that I have campaigned on: securing our borders, stopping illegal immigration, fighting Obamacare, protecting our seniors and securing a quality education for our children. 

On Aug. 26, voters in south Sarasota have a clear choice on deciding how to propel our state towards that noble ideal.   They can select a candidate to serve in their legislature that has undertaken the effort of representing his community in service to it, or they can select an individual who has moved here from the opposite side of the state. An individual whose sole purpose of running for that seat was motivated by his desire to continue his career in politics, thus having specific devotions and priorities that lie outside the best interest of our district. 

South Sarasota can elect an individual who has raised two daughters in this community and is fully invested in it, or one whose devotion to this community remains unclear. This Aug. 26, the choice for the best candidate to represent District 74 is clear.  This Aug. 26, the top choice to represent our District in Tallahassee is Julio Gonzalez.
