Supervisor of Elections
 

The fourth district needs somebody who can step into the seat the morning after the election and know how it works!

When you elect Jerry Melvin to be your State Representative, District 4, you'll be selecting a man with unmatched experience as a Florida State Representative. Voters have elected him to the State House a total of 9 times!

Jerry is proud to be not always "politically correct" and never hesitates to speak out on the issues.

Since 1972, he has been known as "Mr. Economic Developer" and Chairman of the State's first House Committee on Tourism and Economic Development.

He was Dean of the Florida House from 2000 - 2002, and as Chairman of the House Education Council in 2000-2, he was responsible for rewriting the entire Education Code of the State.
