PROTECTING FLORIDAS FAMILIES

MEET GAYLE

Gayle’s commitment and service to our community have prepared her to serve
as our Senator in Tallahassee. As a child in a military family, a devoted wife and
proud mother, a dedicated teacher, a successful businesswoman, and a
committed community volunteer, Gayle brings a lifetime of experience with her to
the State Senate.

Gayle has used the skills she developed as a mother, public school teacher and
businesswoman to identify problems and work with her constituents to solve
them. Throughout her service in Tallahassee, Gayle has always been focused on
delivering real results for District 31.

Gayle has also stayed close to her community even when she is often called to
Tallahassee for meetings. Whether it is organizing events such as the Juvenile
Justice Work Group, DUI and Alcohol Abuse Task Force meetings, Mental Child
Abuse working groups, Mental Health and Substance Abuse Community Forums
and many others, Gayle is always there to listen to her neighbors and
constituents.

THE ISSUES

Restarting the Economy

The best way to help our community recover from COVID-19 is to make sure that everyone who wants a job can get a job.  Gayle Harrell knows how to support job creators in Florida: keep taxes low, cut red tape and burdensome regulation and work with our local Colleges to retrain displaced workers.  Gayle is working with Governor DeSantis and local community and business leaders to safely reopen our economy and get Floridians back to work.

Environment

The environment – and particularly water quality – is a top issue on the Treasure Coast.  Senator Gayle Harrell is committed to cleaning up our waterways and stopping toxic discharges from Lake Okeechobee.  Just this year, Gayle supported record funding for the Florida Department of Environmental Protection including $318 million for Everglades restoration and $237 million in water quality improvements. 

Veterans

We know the sacrifices made by military families aren’ t made by just an individual but by the entire family, including the children of service members.

This year, the Florida Senate passed legislation that gives greater flexibility to transitioning students from military families by considering a student a resident of the school district at the point in time in which the parent is transferred or pending transfer to a military installation within the state.
