District 51: Janet Long: The Importance of our Police Force

With her youngest son and new daughter-in-law both police officers, Janet Long is very clear about the importance of the Police Force throughout Florida’s District 51.  Long has accompanied her son on several police “ride alongs” and has seen first hand that danger, challenges, and bravery every Florida police officer experiences. 

This type of compassion and understanding is part of Long’s decision to run for District 51 State Legislator.  “Our community deserves an experienced, honorable, and independent legislator, who will work with both Republicans and Democrats for our best interests.   I have been appointed by the past two Governors, one Democratic and one Republican, to serve on key state boards — including the State Tax Reform Task Force; and I was appointed three different times, by both Republican and Democratic State Treasurers, to serve as the state’s Deputy Insurance Commissioner.  It’s time a fair and reasonable voice be heard.”
More about Janet C. Long:
Janet C. Long and her family have lived in District 51 for more than thirty years.  In fact, one of her first jobs was as a City Administrator.  Janet has served on the Seminole City Council for the past four years.  With three decades of community involvement, Janet is also a caring friend, mother, and wife. With one son on active duty in the Army, another in the National Guard and a Clearwater Police Officer, a daughter who is a nurse, and husband a retired firefighter, Janet and her family certainly know the meaning of commitment, dedication, and public service.
