Eric Yonce

Eric was born in Florida, raised in the Sixth District, and has always called this community home. Growing up in Citra and graduating from North Marion High School shaped his connection to the people and places of the district. His father served as an Ocala police officer, while his mother leads the local Realtor Association and works to make homeownership more accessible. Their example taught Eric the importance of hard work, public service, and standing up for neighbors.

Andrew Parrott

Parrott describes his political philosophy as a "libertarian republican," blending traditional libertarian principles of personal freedom with conservative values focused on fiscal responsibility and small government.

Alec Pavlik

I was born and raised in Pinellas County, Florida. There I developed a relationship with God, and saw a growing divide in America's culture. This inspired me to learn more about what gave me hope, and how to bring hope to others. In my own time I studied mental health, history, theology, and Constitutional Law; while in school I studied Worldview, Apologetics, Ethics, Film Production, Social Media Marketing, and Local Government.

I'm a follower of Jesus, whom I trust to be the Messiah. Like anyone's foundational beliefs, this influences how I view reality and try to live my life. In my opinion the Holy Bible seems to promote the Law of Noncontradiction, the Golden Rule, and Natural Rights; which greatly influences my politics and how I treat others.
