Congressman Ander Crenshaw
Ander Crenshaw represents Florida’s Fourth Congressional District in the U.S. House of Representatives. Currently in his seventh term representing a district that includes Baker, Nassau, and Duval Counties, Crenshaw is a member of the House Appropriations Committee.
Prior to coming to Congress, Crenshaw worked both in the private sector, as an investment banker, and served as an elected official in the State Legislature. His life in public service ultimately led to the Florida State Senate where he served as the state’s first Republican President of the Senate. Representative Crenshaw was first elected to Congress in 2000.
In that time, Crenshaw has established himself as a respected voice on defense issues and a champion for our men and women in uniform. He has fought for key priorities for Northeast Florida and led the way to bring the National Veterans Cemetery to Jacksonville. He continues the fight to make Naval Station Mayport a nuclear aircraft carrier homeport. In 2013, Navy Secretary Ray Mabus recognized Crenshaw's dedication to the nation's Sailors and Marines and awarded him the Navy's highest civilian honor - The Navy Distinguished Public Service Award.

This past Thursday was World Polio Day. Clubs have made contributions, with the Rotary Club of Ponte Vedra Beach leading the way with $10,000, and Deerwood with $5,500 submitted to the Foundation; the Jacksonville Oceanside is nearly half way to their $18,000 pledge. The District Foundation Share Committee stepped up to the plate with $50,000 from our Designated Funds.

Thank you and please keep your pledges and dollars coming!
