Lifelong Boca Resident Launches Campaign

By Matthew Robbins

Geoff Sommers grew up in Boca Raton, attending elementary, middle and high school, playing sports in Palm Beach County, always active in a community where he earned his Eagle Scout Award.  As Geoff tells us, “it’s my home, and it’s a community I care deeply about.”

In March, the Florida Legislature drew new districts, a once every 10 years constitutional mandate.  State Senate District 25 is exclusively contained within Palm Beach County; its boundaries are generally west of Florida’s Turnpike, from the Broward County line all the way north to include Palm Beach County’s northern communities.

Geoff has been busy meeting and listening to local residents about the issues that are important our community.  “First we need jobs,” explaining that he has, “friends out of work, and there’s no excuse for well-qualified people being unable to find opportunities.”

Geoff earned his bachelors and completed advanced legal studies at The George Washington University.  His specialization is international trade and he has worked first-hand with companies looking to expand their businesses and create jobs.  He points out that companies grow and hire new employees when they have resources, not when government imposes “higher taxes and oppressive regulation.”

Geoff is running an agressive campaign with a message of job creation, economic growth and fiscal responsibility.  He says he intends to bring his experience helping businesses grow to Tallahassee, and that “Florida should be the most attractive place to do business in the entire United States.”  He points out that in a time when state and local governments are being pressed to raise taxes, the exact opposite needs to occur.

“It is equally important we ensure our schools continue to improve,” says Geoff. “It is essential that our schools prepare every student to be competitive in an increasingly demanding economic environment, and that it is only through ensuring this opportunity that we as a community will continue to embody the values that have always made America exceptional.”  Geoff explains that education, above all else, determines the opportunities the children of our community will have.

Geoff’s campaign is well-organized, full of enthusiasm, and Geoff says to expect great things to come.  He and his staff are passionate about improving the lives of our community’s families.
