Congress, on the Board of Governors of the State University system of Florida,
and most recently as Florida’s Attorney General.

punishments for those who prey on children over the internet. The Attorney
General’s office has pursued mortgage fraud and many other scams to protect
Floridians in this time of economic stress, and developed and coordinated the
implementation of a statewide gang reduction strategy.
