Sarasota Young Republicans April Social

On April 13th County Commissioner Canidate Mike Moran will speak to the Sarasota Young Republicans about his current campaign and how voting for him will impact Sarasota’s young professionals.

“I am a husband, father, resident and proud taxpayer of Sarasota County. I want my county to thrive. Key to Sarasota County’s continuing prosperity is an adequate supply of good-paying careers, economic diversity and the aggressive protection of our way of life here. Soon, my two children will leave for college. My wife, Lori, and I very much want them to return to Sarasota after completing their education. But to return home and contribute to this community they will need secure careers that pay an adequate wage. We want to watch our grandchildren enjoy one of the best places on earth…Sarasota, Florida!”

Michael A. Moran, CIC
Republican for Sarasota County Commissioner, District 1
