trouble; she does it because she believes the actions of those in power
can destroy families and divide communities, and she provides a voice
to the powerless.
Third, Christine Bradley Miller of the Plant City Chamber of Commerce
works harder than anyone I know in fostering a vibrant business community,
while still maintaining the charm that makes Plant City special. She is
keenly aware that business, for it to be successful, needs a consistent and
knowledgeable judiciary that understands how business works in the real
world of Small Town, U.S.A.
Because of this I’ve learned that we really aren’t that much different.
Our county certainly differs greatly from community to community in
appearance, wealth, politics, etc. But, in the end, we all want the same
thing: to make our community better today than it was
yesterday. Once you come to that realization, all the
other differences vanish (or, at least, become largely
immaterial). It becomes easier to find solutions and to
compromise when you know you are working toward
the same goal. I simply pray that those who found
success in their campaigns learned this same lesson.
