Jimmy Patronis Named to Florida Defense Support Task Force

Florida Rep. Jimmy Patronis, R-Panama City, has been appointed to the Florida Defense Support Task Force by House Speaker Will Weatherford.

For the last six years I have been privileged to serve a district that is home to two of Floridas major military installations, Tyndall Air Force Base and Naval Support Activity Panama City. Growing up in the area and representing this district in the Florida Legislature has shown me firsthand how important the military is to the people and the economy of our state, Patronis stated in a release.

I am honored to receive this appointment and look forward to continuing to support not only our military missions and installations, but also our military families and veterans, through my work on this council.

Home to 20 major military installations, the task force was created by the Legislature to preserve, protect, and enhance Florida's military missions and installations.
