      I know Representative Hill personally, and I know him to be honest, high morals and exceptional man of Integrity. He is a constitutionit who takes the Constitution very seriously and abides by it faithfully. He doesn’t play favorites and treats everyone fairly. Mike Hill is who Florida needs as the next State Senator!

    This was a sneaky push poll. They robo call a strategic message and then follow up the same day to the same people. Sneaky, inaccurate and deceptive. This represents the Mike Hill I know.
