WELCOME MESSAGE

Thank you for visiting my campaign website.  As you scroll through, please keep in mind that all of the information is real.  These are my words and photos, not the creation of AI or a campaign consultant in another city or state.   Instead, you will meet the real me - your actual neighbor for nearly 30 years.


I was raised by working class Americans who lived the American dream through hard work and sacrifice.  Following their example, I worked a full-time job and two part-time jobs while attending a weekend college program.  Broke and exhausted, I decided to move home and finish college full-time.  I graduated with a B.B.A. from Texas A&M University and a J.D. from South Texas College of Law.  After law school, I got married, started a family, and began my career as an Assistant District Attorney.  A few years later, we decided to make Central Florida our permanent home.


My parents followed and retired in Central Florida.  My husband's mother also made Florida her home.  She was an immigrant who came here the right way, legally, and became an American citizen.  She even forfeited the citizenship of her birth place to show her allegiance to her adopted country.  


Over the years, my husband and I worked full-time while raising our 3 children.  We paid off our student loans, paid off our mortgage, and volunteered at our children's  schools, and as soccer coach, in scouting, at church, and in our community at large. Just like our parents, we lived the American dream.    


The American dream is not easy.  It is about choices and opportunities.  It is about hard work, sacrifice, duty, respecting the law, and living with gratitude in this beautiful place called the United States of America.  We must continue striving for that more perfect union; not tearing down the very foundation of America or allowing the exploitation of American providence.  America is our home and she belongs to her citizens.   We decide who is permitted to enter her borders, how long they may stay, and when they must leave.  We must be generous, but not foolish.


As the only candidate who can say that Florida House District 42 has been my home for nearly three decades and after reviewing my website, I hope that I am able to earn your support and your vote as a respected voice for our community in Tallahassee.

I heartily endorse Bonnie Jackson for Florida House District 42.  She has the background and experience to represent her constituents in a very important district in Orange County.  She is a rare conservative attorney in Orlando, with 30 years of experience. In a time when leadership demands election integrity, dedication, and an unwavering commitment to justice and fairness, Bonnie stands out as the clear choice.  We need her knowledge and commitment in Tallahassee.

As a homeowner in Winter Park, elected leadership matters to me. We can use Bonnie's skill as a lawyer and all of the practical experience she has gained by raising her family and practicing law right here in this district.  As a volunteer, she has served on boards in Winter Park and even done the hard work as a guardian for abused and neglected children. Bonnie has proved she has a heart for service.  She's my candidate for the 42.

Bonnie Jackson is a refreshing candidate we welcome in the race for State Representative for District 42.  As a businesswoman, she knows how to get things DONE!  This includes working smart and efficiently.  These traits are critical when managing taxpayers’ money. Also, Bonnie is a mother of three who understands family dynamics and the sensitive side of issues. She truly cares about people. I support Bonnie 100% for District 42.  She will bring common sense to the table and will deliver on her commitments (a proven track record) to us the taxpayers.

I know that she will work towards making our community great again!
