Before I filed to run, I discussed the opportunity for about two years with local current and former School Admin and teachers. I have support, from persons such as Sharon Chapman, former Assistant Superintendent of Instruction and Wayne Ledbetter, former Certified School Board member. This list also includes former School Superintendents and other various local leaders. Regarding businesses and organizations, I have the support of N. E. Florida Builders Association, N.E. Florida Assoc. of Realtors, First Coast Voter Guide for Clay County, Personhood Florida Pro Life, and Chair Wes Taylor, Board Chair of the Clay Soil and Water Conservation District Supervisors. Other donors to our campaign are Greg Carter with Carter’s Ortega Pharmacy, the Turnage Family with IMC Construction Group, Michael Bourre with Bourre Construction Group, attorney Kenny Leigh, Coldwell Banker, Martin Properties and many concerned citizens and friends. My campaign manager is my son, Ted Clark.
