Bill Hackney - "Kelly Kirschner understands agriculture"

CPA Bill Hackney received the DeSoto County Chamber of Commerce’s Lifetime Achievement Award for his service to the community. So when Bill says Kelly Kirschner “would be an excellent representative for this area in Congress,” that means something. Bill points to Kelly’s grasp of agriculture, immigration, and ICE enforcement, the issues that determine whether DeSoto’s farms have the workers they need. That understanding didn’t come from a briefing book. Kelly grew up in his family’s citrus business, part of the same industry that made the Peace River Valley Florida’s fruit basket. Kelly later led workplace and executive training at Eckerd College and spent a decade as a member of the St. Pete Chamber of Commerce. Business leaders there backed him in their straw poll because they know he has the back of workers and small businesses, from the farm to Main Street. #KirschnerForCongress #FL16 #LetsFixThis
