A message for my nonpartisan friends and neighbors

Your decisions are based on logic, not ideology. You value integrity, and you know the truth when you hear it. You are shocked how easily people can be led. It’s no surprise you vote solely on the strengths and common sense of the individual candidate.

You vote for the person, not the party.

Like many of you, I’ve had my throat burned by Red Tide, questioned the water flowing from my kitchen faucet, and watched as the best school system in Florida has been undermined by for-profit education companies and special interests.

The Republicans have had 20 years to show us their vision for this State and Sarasota. From Red Tide to their bungled Covid-19 response, they have proven their loyalty is only to Donald Trump, not us.

District 72 is where I’ve grown my business and my family for 30 years. This is my home and I’m fighting for it. Though I am the Democratic nominee, I have no ideology other than protecting our environment, our business community, and our schools. I firmly believe that there is far more that unites us than divides us, both as human beings and as a community. It is with that principle that I intend to lead District 72.

You are reading this letter from me because I want your vote. It’s as simple as that.

I invite you to learn more about me and make your own decision this November. We must all vote our conscience. www.examplecandidate.com/meet-drake  

We may not be a perfect match, but if our ideas align overall, I urge you to to vote for me. If you have any questions about who I am or why you should vote for me, please email me directly at: email@anemailaddress.com

Sincerely,

Drake Buckman
