I've known @ShevrinJones for over 15 years. Over that time, he's become a true friend and someone who's been there through some of the most important moments of my life.

One thing I've always respected about him is that he never forgot how to treat people. He led with his principles, respected those who disagreed with him, and built real friendships along the way.

Tallahassee won't be the same without him, but I know he'll take that same approach to Washington and leave his mark there too.

Proud of you, my friend. Thank you for your service.

Ricky Dixon is one of the absolute finest public servants you will ever find. He will be missed, and the State of Florida was incredibly blessed to have him.

Every child deserves someone fighting for them. I’m proud to champion policies that support the families in our community. Being recognized by The Children’s Trust as a Champion for Children in advocacy means so much, and I’m grateful to work alongside so incredible advocates.

Today, @OptimaEd CEO @ManganaAdam & I presented to @FJJAssociation, showcasing VR’s ability to bring high quality immersive education to students facing consequences for bad choices. Everyone deserves a chance at redemption, & education can be the difference maker for these kids.
