I would love to see Bender run for the US congress.
Congratulations! You are the best Commissioner our district was blessed to have, along with your assistant Angela. Wish you the best with your new position. I’m confident you will do a great job for our citizens no matter the job title. Escambia County is blessed to have you and your family.
