As a graduate of the Miami Dade Public School system, I know firsthand the importance of keeping our tax dollars local and I will fight to ensure we can offer the children of Miami-Dade a solid education with adequate funding.

As a husband and father, I truly understand the importance of keeping our neighborhoods safe and secure.

As a former U.S. Marine and veteran of Operation Iraqi Freedom, I appreciate the fact that results sometimes require sacrifice and I understand what it takes to accomplish the mission.

To earn your trust and confidence, I am mounting a grassroots, door-to-door campaign. I am interested in hearing from you, the voter.

During these tough times, we need a state legislator to make strong, reasonable decisions for the residents of Miami Dade County and the State of Florida. Should you honor me with your support and vote, I pledge to champion our community's best interests in Tallahassee and serve with honor and distinction.

Thank you for your time and consideration.

Sincerely,
Frank Artiles
