Meet & Greet for Ben Albritton running for our Florida Senate seat. Monday, October 8th from 3:30 to 5:15 at Serenity Coffee Shop. Great conversation and refreshments will be served. Plenty of time to get to the Political Forum afterward. Call Debi Large at 862-532-2482 for any questions. Ben is running for our Florida Senate seat. I could tell you what a wonderful person he is, how he loves God, and how his motives are from a passion for God and Florida but come and meet him and find out for yourself! Ben was born in Florida’s Heartland in 1968. He is the 6th generation of a line of farmers, ranchers, citrus growers and businessmen who have lived and invested in Central Florida’s rich agricultural heritage. Ben graduated from Hardee High School in 1986 and then attended Florida Southern College where he earned a Bachelor of Science Degree in Citrus/Business in 1990. After graduating from college Ben went to work in his family Agriculture businesses that now includes citrus grove ownership, grove care and management, payroll management, a general lines insurance agency, as well as risk and horticultural consulting. In 1993, Ben married Missy Schrader of Wauchula, and they began the rewarding task of starting and raising a family in rural Hardee County. They have three children, Rebecca (20 yrs), Joshua (17 yrs), and Ryan (13 yrs). Missy and Ben invest daily very heavily in the lives of their children and in their Christian faith. Their family is lifetime members of First Christian Church of Wauchula, where Ben has served as an Elder/Trustee since 2003. Throughout his life, Ben has been taught and consistently practices the value and necessity of serving others, especially his “Ag” family across Florida. Come meet Ben and Missy, learn about all his qualifications and enjoy some refreshments. You will have plenty of time to come, meet Ben, enjoy your time with him and still get to the political forum at 6:00.
