Bobby Hart, a veteran educator in Nassau, Baker and Union Counties
announced his candidacy for the Florida House of Representatives, District 12.
Hart,
a Republican, has taught at West Nassau
High since 2000 and has been involved in the public school system for
almost 30 years. He is also a major in the Army Reserve and has served
two tours in support of Operation Iraqi Freedom, returning most
recently in April, 2007.
“I don’t think anyone knows this district and the people in it better than I do,” said Hart, a sixth generation Floridian who has strong ties with all six counties within the district. “Obviously, education is my first love, but I will be more than a one-issue candidate. I’m concerned and have experience in the plight of working families, providing the best security for our citizens, veteran affairs and in general making Florida the kind of state we want to live in and one we want to leave for our children.”
Some of Hart’s key career accomplishments include:
Hart is a strong proponent of home rule over governmental issues. “I think one problem we have in Florida is the wide disparity of needs and wants throughout the state,” he said. “What is good for South Florida may not be good for us in North Florida. District 12 is the same on a smaller scale, so I think locally elected officials should decide what is best for their communities.”
Hart, who ran for the District 12 seat in 2000, said, “People talked to me about running for the state house again, and I told them no. When Sheriff Bob Milner dropped out of the race, I was contacted to run but I said it was too late to get into the race. Then someone reminded me that just by the natural course my life has taken, I have been running for this job every day my entire life,” Hart said.
Hart’s family includes wife Cheryl, a first grade teacher at Westside Elementary school in Glen St. Mary for 31 years and former Board of Directors member at Lake City Community College; two sons: Air Force Capt. Dustin M. Hart and Jonathan Hart, both graduates of the University of Florida; daughter-in-law Tyleen and two grandsons, Rylan and Shayne.
