Kari Lerner is a public servant with a record of serving her district and her nation, not herself and certainly no dictator or king. Her opponent, Byron Donalds serves two people, himself and DJT.
Kari has been actively engaging with the community, speaking at events like the Lee and Collier Counties Juneteeth Celebrations, at local conservative groups, at Memorial Day celebrations, and marching in parades as well as knocking on doors across the area.
