MY FUN FACTS
My 2022 reelection loss came after Patty Cummings asserted a residency that many believed was inaccurate. Some supporters, whose names rhyme with Sheppard and Gunter, backed her and appeared fully aware of the circumstances all along. Just like John Gunter, I used PAC Financial Management from Tallahassee to assist with my campaign.

Nelson vs. Captiva Erosion Prevention District was a federal sexual harassment case filed in the Middle District of Florida that concluded with an out-of-court settlement.
