There are many issues facing Floridians, but here in Senate District 25, there are a few issues that impact our quality of life directly. I am proud to have worked with two of my Republican colleagues, Rep. Marcelo Llorente and Rep. Curt Kelly, to sponsor legislation that addressed the proliferation of pain clinics in South Florida. We built a huge coalition, working with local organizations, such as, the Broward County United Way Substance Abuse Task Force, the Palm Beach County NOPE Task Force, the Florida Medical Association and both the Palm Beach and Broward County Sheriff's offices to name a few.
"Representative Skidmore has been a great friend of law enforcement. She supported our priority issues and was one of the main sponsors of the Prescription Drug Monitoring Program that will begin to reign in the out-of-control pain clinics in Broward County. She has also been an outspoken advocate of banning texting while driving and protecting our vulnerable homeless population from vicious attacks."
-Broward County Sheriff, Al Lamberti
Not only did Ellyn Bogdanoff vote against all three priorities of Sheriff Lamberti, she lobbied Governor Crist to veto the pain clinic legislation and takes credit for single-handedly killing the ban on texting while driving.
