Vic Rohe Running for the Florida Senate in District 22

Vic Rohe for Florida State Senate District 22. That includes all of Sarasota County and about the southern third of Manatee County.

The reasons for Vic’s candidacy are 3-fold:

1. To return local control of zoning & building permitting to our county and local governments.
2. To secure your right to determine your own health care.
3. To prevent the calling of a new U.S. Constitutional Convention.

The reason for Vic Rohe’s candidacy:

“You may not be aware of the changes to law and what is going on regarding these issues, but please allow me to take the liberty of giving a few of of my qualifications for the Senate. I am currently a countywide elected member of the Sarasota Memorial Hospital board. The hospital system has about a 2 billion dollar annual budget and over 11,000 employees, making it the largest employer in Sarasota County. I won election by defeating an incumbent medical doctor in the Republican primary and winning the general election with over 71% of the vote. I ran on a Health Freedom platform and my voting record shows that, as promised, I stayed the course in championing patient rights and transparency. He states my most important qualification though is that I will represent you and NOT the Billionaire Mega-Developers that almost control Manatee and Sarasota County government.”
