Crystal River — Today, Rep. Dennis Baxley, Speaker Pro Tem of the Florida House and Candidate for Senate District 3, emerged a clear winner in the first candidate forum between Republicans running for state senate in District 3. Baxley presented his pro-freedom and pro-family platform with poise and conviction, and successfully defined himself as the conservative candidate in this election.
The topics discussed in the forum were property tax relief, property insurance reform, protecting children from sexual predators, protecting water and natural resources, and defending the family.
The loudest rounds of applause tonight went to Baxley in response to his answers on lawsuit reform and the sanctity of marriage.
"The trial lawyers hate me," said Baxley, to a room full of laughter and applause. "They can tolerate my opponent, but they are coming after me, and I don't mind paying a political price for doing what is right."
Baxley explained that the voters can expect hate mail and personal attacks to be leveled against him by special interests such as the trial lawyers, big business, and the casino lobby. He urged his opponent to sign his Fair Campaign Pledge and to commit to a clean campaign.
Baxley received more applause when the issue of the sanctity of marriage was addressed. He delivered a passionate defense and expressed his strong support for the Marriage Amendment Act, which would define marriage as being between a man and a woman.
"I can't wait to get back to Tallahassee," said Baxley. "The special interests will work for my opponent, but the only special interests I will answer to are the voters of Senate District 3."
