Education Rep. Dunkley sponsored bill HB553 which asks school districts to provide information to middle school students and parents of the option for career themed courses as they are making their course selection. In the 2023 legislative session Rep. Dunkley sponsored the bill for "Purple Star Campuses". This allows the university to self identify as a purple star campus where military personnel and family have priority in the registration of courses.

Having personally experienced the outcome when home cost increase, I am very passionate about making sure that no homeowner loses their home or renters buckling under the pressure of rental costs.

As a veteran myself, I have worked tirelessly to meet and connect Veterans to the resources and information available to them. I strongly believe that no one who has made the incredible sacrifice to serve his or her country should be without the resources they need to live and survive when they return home. In Tallahassee, I will continue to ensure that the veterans in District 97 are getting the information they need to help them use and apply for their benefits.
