About Sandy:  A Conservative Leader We Know and Trust

Sandy Adams has built a reputation as a tough, no non-sense leader and she is exactly what Central Florida needs in the United States Congress.

While Washington politicians ignore the problems facing our country, Sandy Adams has demonstrated her commitment to responsible fiscal policy, defense of traditional values, and protecting our border.

During her eight years in the Florida House of Representatives, Sandy Adams has been a champion on the most pressing issues facing us.  She has led the fight to expand of the use of E-Verify to end state agencies using illegal workers and against driver’s licenses and in-state tuition for those not in the country legally.

She has taken a hard line against government spending and new taxes, protected Second Amendment rights, stood up for the sanctity of life and increased penalties for violent criminals.

Sandy grew up in a military family and came to Florida when she was just seven years old.  She dropped out of high school to join the U.S. Air Force where she met the man that would become her husband.  After a few short years, Sandy made the tough decision to walk away from a marriage strained by alcoholism and violence in order to protect her young daughter.  

A single parent with no high school diploma, Sandy worked two jobs seven days a week and was barely making ends meet.  That is when she decided to pursue a career in law enforcement and after earning her high school equivalency degree she entered the academy for night classes.  In 1985, she joined the Orange County Deputy Sheriff’s Department where she served for seventeen years until being elected to the state legislature in 2002.

Sandy met and later married fellow deputy Frank Seton.  Tragically, Frank died in the line of duty.  Frank’s death, motivated Sandy to become more active in citizens’ and victims’ rights issues.  However, she became increasingly disillusioned with what she saw happening at the state level to protect our families and felt the need to do more.  She helped found the Central Florida Chapter of the Concerns of Police Survivors and became a leading advocate for victims’ rights.  She traveled to Tallahassee to push for common-sense legislation but as she became more exposed to the process, she became more frustrated as the laws being passed seemed designed to protect the predators rather than the victims.  In 2002, Sandy decided that rather than complain about Tallahassee, she was going to do something about it and announced her candidacy for the Florida House of Representatives.  In a hard-fought 5-way primary, Sandy took 42% of the vote and has been re-elected ever since.

Once again, Sandy watches as Washington politicians refuse to make the tough decisions to get our nation back on track.  Liberal special interests, hostile to American traditions, are systematically stripping our country of the ideals that make us exceptional.  Record spending which today leaves us with a $1.5 trillion deficit and a $12 trillion debt are enslaving our children and grandchildren.  Today, America looks more like Greece than the Shining City on the Hill.

We can no longer stand by and watch the politicians in Washington spend us into oblivion rather than reduce the size and scope of government.  That is why we need a leader we know and trust: Sandy Adams.
