As a retired two-star Navy admiral I am uniquely qualified to address the global war on terrorism in the United States Senate.

VO: LeRoy Collins a proven leader.
I have been endorsed by the Miami Herald, Tampa Tribune, Gainesville Sun, Naples Daily News, Florida Times Union, Lakeland Ledger, and the St. Petersburg Times.
VO: LeRoy Collins a proven leader.
I am the only candidate in this race with military and business experience and I ask for your support. Don’t you agree we owe our children a brighter and safer future?
