All issues

Campaigns are won conversation by conversation — at bakery counters, laundromats, chamber events and front doors. This is what the final stretch across District 48 looked like.

The last few weeks

From Winter Haven to Frostproof, Alethea spent the closing weeks of the campaign where she has spent her whole life: out in the community. The video and photos below capture chamber events, small-business visits and sidewalk conversations across East Polk.

Every stop centered on the same four commitments: strong public schools, lower everyday costs, reliable US-27 and East Polk infrastructure, and local home rule.

Thank you
