“For folks in the Panhandle, the stakes are too high to let up now,” said State Representative Patt Maney. “Storm after storm, Florida communities are in near-constant states of short and long-term recovery. Thanks to the leadership of Governor DeSantis and Speaker Renner, we’re suiting up to forge solutions for Florida families rebuilding their homes and lives. I am honored to be entrusted with the work ahead and ability to influence our state’s already positive trajectory. This is just the beginning.”
