Jay Shooster:
Champion for Palm Beach County
"Tallahassee has become too extreme for the people it represents. From attacks on women’s rights and public education to neglecting the property insurance crisis, environmental protection, and common sense gun safety measures, it’s time for change. In my career as a lawyer, I’ve fought for the public interest in the courts. Now I’m fighting to champion Palm Beach County."
