Jeanne Malchon

I am extremely saddened by the death of this dedicated, honest, passionate and very effective Florida Senator. She was an advocate for so many issues that it would be impossible to list them all, but as a tribute to her life, I will list some that affect the lives of many Floridians.

Thank you for your dedicated service to our beautiful state. I will think of you every time I can breath peacefully in public places. Rest in peace. You have truly earned it but being a great role model to young women.
