Meet Melissa, in her own words.

A fourth-generation Pinellas small business owner running to bring real-world experience to the Florida House.

Pass it along to a neighbor who votes in Pinellas County.

Why Melissa is running

Melissa built a career in real estate and went on to own her own business. She has watched the cost of rebuilding after the hurricanes, climbing insurance rates, and rising property taxes price her neighbors out of the homes they have lived in for decades. She is running because Pinellas County needs someone in Tallahassee who has actually met a payroll, and who will bring creative solutions to problems that keep getting worse.
