Donald J. Trump is the 45th President of the United States. He believes the United States has incredible potential and will go on to exceed even its remarkable achievements of the past.
Donald J. Trump defines the American success story. Throughout his life he has continually set the standards of business and entrepreneurial excellence, especially in real estate, sports, and entertainment. Mr. Trump built on his success in private life when he entered into politics and public service. He remarkably won the Presidency in his first ever run for any political office.
A graduate of the University of Pennsylvania’s Wharton School of Finance, Mr. Trump followed in his father’s footsteps into the world of real estate development, making his mark in New York City. There, the Trump name soon became synonymous with the most prestigious of addresses in Manhattan and, subsequently, throughout the world.
Mr. Trump is also an accomplished author. He has written more than fourteen bestsellers. His first book, The Art of the Deal, is considered a business classic.
Mr. Trump announced his candidacy for the Presidency on June 16, 2015. He then accepted the Republican nomination for President of the United States in July of 2016, having defeated 17 other contenders during the Republican primaries.
On November 8, 2016, Mr. Trump was elected President in the largest Electoral College landslide for a Republican in 28 years. Mr. Trump won more than 2,600 counties nationwide, the most since President Ronald Reagan in 1984. He received the votes of more than 62 million Americans, the most ever for a Republican candidate.
President Trump has delivered historic results in his first term in office despite partisan gridlock in the Nation’s Capital, and resistance from special interests and the Washington Establishment.
He passed record-setting tax cuts and regulation cuts, achieved energy independence, replaced NAFTA with the United-States-Mexico-Canada Agreement, invested $2 trillion to completely rebuild the Military, launched the Space Force, obliterated the ISIS Caliphate, achieved a major breakthrough for peace in the Middle East, passed the most significant Veterans Affairs reforms in half a century, confirmed over 250 federal judges, including 2 Supreme Court Justices, signed bipartisan Criminal Justice Reform, lowered drug prices, protected Medicare and Social Security, and secured our nation’s borders.
To vanquish the COVID-19 global pandemic, President Trump launched the greatest national mobilization since World War II. The Trump Administration enacted the largest package of financial relief in American history, created the most advanced testing system in the world, developed effective medical treatments to save millions of lives, and launched Operation Warp Speed to deliver a vaccine in record time and defeat the Virus.
President Trump and his wife, Melania, are parents to their son, Barron. Mr. Trump also has four adult children, Don Jr., Ivanka, Eric, and Tiffany, as well as 10 grandchildren.

Rick Scott
Rick Scott was elected to the U.S. Senate in 2018 and is currently serving his first term representing the state of Florida. Prior to his election to the U.S. Senate, Rick Scott served two terms as the 45th Governor of Florida, working every day to turn around Florida’s economy and secure the state’s future as the best place for families and businesses to succeed. Rick Scott grew up in public housing in the Midwest as his adoptive father, a World War II veteran and truck driver, and his mother, a store clerk, struggled to financially support their family. After marrying his high school sweetheart, Ann, Rick Scott joined the Navy, where he served active duty as a radar man aboard the USS Glover. He used the G.I. Bill to attend the University of Missouri, Kansas City, and eventually opened his first business – a donut shop. Rick Scott went on to run the world’s largest healthcare company and continues to fight every day so families across the state can have the same opportunities he had to live the American dream.
Rick Scott knows firsthand that a good paying job is one of the most important things for a family, and following Florida’s economic collapse ten years ago, he made the decision to run for governor as a businessman with no political experience. During his term as Governor, he successfully championed more than $10 billion in tax cuts and cut thousands of burdensome regulations that led Florida businesses to create nearly 1.7 million new jobs. Under his leadership, the unemployment rate dropped from 11 percent to 3.3 percent, Florida paid down $10 billion in state debt, and record investments were made in what matters most to Floridians – education, the environment, and public safety.
Rick Scott and his wife, Ann, have been married for 51 years and have two daughters, Allison and Jordan, six grandsons, Auguste, Quinton, Sebastian, Eli, Louie and Jude, and one granddaughter, Zelda Ann.

SHARON JORDAN SEEKS RE-ELECTION
Dear Citizens,
It is with honor I, Sharon Jordan, announce my re-election for Suwannee County Tax Collector. I have proudly served the citizens of Suwannee County in the Tax Collector’s office for 45 years with 16 of those years serving as “Your Tax Collector.”
When I first ran for office, I did so with an earnest desire to serve the people of Suwannee County with superior customer service. Part of that earnestness was to ensure our staff is highly trained in all areas of our office to ensure efficiency, proficiency, and capability in efforts to meet all of your service needs.
Since being sworn into office in 2009, I have increased the number of personnel to include a receptionist to ensure your phone call is always answered by a live person during business hours, restructured our office website making it mobile friendly, ADA compliant and up-to-date. I have advanced our office by providing concealed weapon license application services, birth certificates, HAZMAT endorsed CDL’s, and initiating the acceptance of e-checks as an alternative form of payment for online tax payments. Most recently, a queuing kiosk was installed to better manage customer flow. In addition, the hours at our Live Oak and Branford offices were extended and a Branch office opened in Dowling Park.
While serving as your Tax Collector, on the state level, I was selected to serve as the President of the Florida Tax Collectors Association (FTCA) in 2017, the highest honor; presently serve as the District 3 Director on the FTCA Board and the FTCA liaison for the Department of Agriculture and Consumer Services. These opportunities have helped me develop and mature as a senior Tax Collector and leader in our community and state to better serve you, the tax payer.
My diverse staff and I are committed to providing the utmost quality of service the citizens of Suwannee County deserve, while also meeting the challenges of federal, state, and local regulations. We provide many online services and payment options so that taxpayers can pay in person, online, by mail, or use the drop box.
I have operated this office in a fiscally responsible manner ensuring every dollar collected is distributed to the county, schools, city and state governments, per Florida Statute. I am proud to say this office has received excellent audit results annually from both county and state agency auditors.
My goals then and still are: Efficient and Personalized Service, Accountability and Accuracy, Expanded Services, Engaged and Highly Trained Staff, and Capitalizing on Advanced Technology.
Immediate Future Goals: A larger office to better serve the citizens of Suwannee County and accommodate our lobby traffic. I have been and will continue to engage in discussions with leaders expressing and advocating our need for more office space, as this need is critical due to the growth Suwannee County is experiencing.
Please note, I have always and will continue to have an open-door policy.
Thank you to the citizens of Suwannee County for the opportunity to serve as your Tax Collector, and thank you for your support as I seek to continue serving you as your Suwannee County Tax Collector. Please feel free to contact me at dnj60@windstream.net or 386-362-8616.

The Property Appraiser of Suwannee County is charged with placing a fair and equitable market value on every parcel of property both real estate and tangible in our county. Many people believe the Property Appraiser determines the amount of taxes a property owner will pay but this is not the case. The job of property appraiser is to value property for tax purposes. The taxing authorities, which include the Board of County Commissioners, School Board, City Council, and the Water Management District, set the tax rate for all property and therefore the amount of taxes to be assessed.

Janene Fitzpatrick
Dear Residents of Suwannee County,
Hello! My name is Janene Fitzpatrick, and I am requesting your support to become the next Superintendent of Schools. Unlike most elected superintendents, I am not a career politician. I have spent the past 30 years working in schools, attending trainings, successfully acting in administrative roles, and serving to make the Suwannee County School District a system of pride for our community. I have worked closely with all school district departments, directly reporting to the Superintendent of Schools for ten years, and I am confident that I am the most highly qualified candidate to be your next superintendent. I prefer to view this political race as the largest job interview I’ve ever participated in during my career. I’m interviewing with the entire county, and I hope that after you learn more about me and my experience, you’ll grant me the position by casting your vote in my favor.
A little about my history, during the summer of 2007, I moved from Lakeland, Florida to Suwannee County with my husband Mark and daughter Aryn. I brought 15 years of district/school recognized, quality teaching experience in Spanish and Mathematics, as well as a Master’s Degree in Educational Leadership. Prior to leaving Polk County, I was selected for the Polk County Schools administrative pool, and I was on track to begin a career in school administration. Upon arriving in Suwannee, I took a teaching position at Suwannee High School in August. It didn’t take long for the district to see my potential and offer me the position of Assistant Principal of Curriculum at Suwannee Middle School that same December. I spent 6 years (2007-2013) in this role at Suwannee Middle School serving under two principals. During that time, I worked on many exciting projects to help improve SMS, if you’d like to read more about those initiatives, feel free to check out my accomplishments page on this website.
In 2013, the district again offered me a promotion from school-based administration to district-level administration as the Director of Curriculum, Instruction, and Assessment. In this role I had the honor to serve as support for all instructional content areas and school principals. This position answered directly to the Superintendent of Schools, at that time Mr. Jerry Scarborough. When the Superintendent decided to reinstate the Assistant Superintendent positions in Suwannee County in 2015, I was selected to serve as Assistant Superintendent of Instruction. I added oversight of two additional directors – the Director of Student Services/ESE and the Director of Federal Programs. My team and I successfully helped to navigate the challenging 2020-2021 COVID school year, as well as, coordinating the newly themed/configured Live Oak elementary schools – among other projects.
In 2021, I was diagnosed with stage 4 cancer, and I took an early retirement in 2023 because my prognosis looked grim. By the grace of God and miracle medical help from the Mayo Clinic, I’ve had my health restored, and I’m ready to get back to work on my mission of making the Suwannee County School District one of the best in Florida.
Please take a moment to explore the other areas of my website to view my educational history and experiences, as well as the accomplishments in each position. You can also find me on Facebook under “Janene Fitzpatrick for Superintendent” – I’ll try to keep you all updated regarding the events in which I’ll be participating. I look forward to meeting many of you, and I welcome discussion regarding school topics – my husband and daughter will tell you, it’s always my favorite topic.
Thank you for your time and consideration in this important decision for our county,
Janene Fitzpatrick
Candidate for Superintendent of Schools
