Julia, that's really nice that you've identified yourself so completely and expressed a desire to research the candidates and issues in the coming election. However, you have implied that Mr. Pruitt has a plethora of respected credentials to be a State Representative, yet you fail to address any of the many outstanding issues that he so conveniently omitted from his web site.

Where do he now live and for how long? Does that address have a homestead exemption and for how long?

Has he been taking a homestead exemption for a Marion County residence while voting from a Lake County residence?

One of your cohorts stated: "Everything he does and has is in Lake County except where he sleeps. He lived there,gets his mail there and yes he voted there. His business is in Lake County-He has given the past 10 years as a volunteer appointee to the Lake/Sumter Community College Board" I don't really care where he sleeps, but if he does not sleep in Lake County, he is not a resident of that county. As such, he should not be voting there and he should not be a Lake County rep on the college board. Did he somehow claim a homestead exemption on his PO Box?

Any comment whatsoever on the influence his older brother, the Florida State Senate President, on Mr. Pruitt's gubernatorial appointments, his lobbying positions, or his campaign contributions, especially from Tallahassee and elsewhere outside of this district?

Any comment on Mr. Pruitt's departure from the position of Chief of Police of Center Hill under somewhat shady circumstances?

This one's from memory, but several months ago before any campaigning had begun in earnest, there were a series of advertisements or public service announcements for a charity with which Mr. Pruitt had ties, I believe the Early Learning and Literacy Center. These were dominated by Mr. Pruitt and were nothing more that slightly disguised campaign ads. Who paid for these?

Just a couple questions about your candidate.
