Press Release Summary = District 51: Janet Long: A Perspective on Caretaking

Press Release Body = Living with Janet Long and her husband Richard, is Janet’s 96
year old mother. The near centurion is suffering from Alzheimer’s disease and while
physically in tremendous shape, she is unable to recognize people around her and
becomes easily disoriented. According to Janet, “Our home situation illustrates the
challenges of the elderly in District 51 and throughout Florida. I know first hand
how difficult it is to balance the roles of caretaker and daughter.”

This type of compassion and understanding is part of Long’s decision to run for
District 51 State Legislator. “Our community deserves an experienced, honorable, and
independent legislator, who will work with both Republicans and Democrats for our
best interests. I have been appointed by the past two Governors to serve on key
state boards — including the State Tax Reform Task Force; and I was appointed three
different times, by both Republican and Democratic State Treasurers, to serve as the
state’s Deputy Insurance Commissioner. It’s time a fair and reasonable voice be
heard.”
