It is an honor and privilege to have been elected to be your voice and to represent you, the citizens of our coastal communities from Deerfield Beach to Fort Lauderdale. As your County Commissioner I look forward to continuing to improve resident’s quality of life by focusing on several key issues in our community. I will focus on improving our en- vironment, alleviating traffic congestion and transportation issues, the affordable hous- ing crises in Broward County and finding sound solutions for homelessness. As a fourth- generation resident of Broward County, I have a deep connection with our community and I’m dedicated to serve the residents of District 4 and help you make a better Broward! Our Environment As your District 4 County Commissioner, I represent nearly 3 quarters of Broward County’s 24 miles of sandy beaches. Our beaches are a valuable resource and wonderful tourist’s at- traction providing for our local economy. I will advocate for the protection of our beaches while also focus on finding sensible solutions for the impacts of climate change and sea level rise in our region. I’m looking forward to working collaboratively with the counties Commissioner-Elect Lamar P. Fisher and cities in the region in the preparation for the effects of climate change. Making sure we focus on sea level rise, flooding issues and any economic and social disruptions these changes might bring to our community. Transportation Surtax On November 6, 2018 Broward County voters approved a 30-year 1% local option sales tax which will fund countywide trans- portation system improvements. These improvements will create connectivity, relieve traffic congestions, improve transit services, and expand the availability of multimodal transportation. The plan provides for 476 road, traffic, signal, bridge, tech- nology and safety improvements, more than 700 city-requested transportation improvements, full funding for existing Com- munity Shuttles and Paratransit, and a more reliable, responsive/accessible local transit system. Most importantly, this col- laborative plan prioritizes connectivity and congestion relief by creating a dedicated transportation-specific funding, with an independent Oversight Committee. I look forward to working with the County Commission, the Broward County Metropolitan Planning Organization and each of the 8 municipalities in District 4 to target our biggest traffic problems and improve our transportation system. Affordable Housing Broward County is amid an affordable housing crisis. There is a current demand for over 100,000 affordable units according to a study by Florida International University with over 65,000 units for Low Income Families. According to the Harvard Joint Center for Housing Studies, Broward County is the most cost burdened metro area in the nation. Currently, standard housing costs plus transportation costs is 45% of a household income in the nation, unfortunately, Broward County has the highest housing plus transportation costs in the nation at over 70% of a household income! These statistics are astronomical, and we must find a way to provide affordable housing options for our residents. I will work on finding further solutions for this crisis and continue to support County strategies that provide residents options for affordable housing. Homelessness Our community is also facing the challenges of addressing homelessness. It is time we provide all the assistance necessary for individuals experiencing homelessness, which may include providing permanent housing opportunities and the right level of service to ensure the individual can maintain stability and prosper. Recently, a public-private sector partner collaborative with Invest with us in representatives from more than 40 agencies and organizations was established in May 2018 to formulate a thorough, thought- your home today! ful and detailed plan of action to end homelessness, beginning with local encampments. While this plan focuses on one area of our community, I’m looking forward to being able to provide solutions for all 8 cities in District 4.

I consider it a great honor to represent you in the Florida House of Representatives and I am proud of the work we have accomplished in the Legislature. I would like to share with you some of our accomplishments over the last eight years including fostering job growth, funding beach renourishment initiatives, promoting Port Ev- erglades, and increasing tax cuts. I am not eligible to serve for another term because of term limits, but I will work with my successor after the election to ensure that the great work we have done to improve our local community and our State continues. You can w atch the farewell address I gave on the House Floor by clicking this link. Job Growth This year, the Legislature provided $85 million for the Florida Job Growth Grant Fund so that we can continue our efforts as a state to support public infrastructure and workforce training. In Broward County, job growth continues to increase each year and Florida’s private sector job growth has consistently exceeded other states’ Representative George Moraitis rates. In fact, since 2010, Florida has created over 1.5 million private sector jobs while Florida’s unemployment rate has dropped to 3.5% from a high of 11.3% in 2010. Facilitating job growth helps stimulate our economy and improves the quality of life for those in our community. Beach Renourishment Florida’s beaches are one of our state’s most valuable natural resources because they support tourism and our local economy, as well as provide a habitat for our wildlife. In an effort to maintain our world-class beaches and protect the property values in our coastal community, funding for the renourishment of our beaches has been a top priority. Beach renourishment is the preferred method to protect our shores from beach erosion. The Legislature funds a recurring base of $29.5 million each year for beach restoration projects, which includes beach renourishment. This year, we allo- cated an additional $20.5 million to the recurring base, providing a total of $50 million for beach restoration. Port Everglades Port Everglades has brought economic prosperity to our community since it first opened ninety years ago. While serv- ing in the Legislature, Port Everglades has consistently been one of my top priorities because it is our region’s largest economic engine and supports over 220,000 jobs in our community. Since 2015, Port Everglades has worked with the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers to deepen and widen the Port’s navigational channels through the Port Everglades Naviga- MOTIVATED - More like a home tion Improvements Project.

We owe it to our shareowners, employees and customers to advocate public policies that will enable us to compete fairly and freely in the marketplace. Political contributions are one way we support the democratic electoral process and participate in the policy dialogue. Our employees have established political action committees at the federal level and in 18 states. These political action committees (PACs) allow employees to pool their resources to support candidates for office who generally support the public policies our employees advocate. This report lists all PAC contributions, corporate political contributions, support for ballot initiatives and independent expenditures made by Verizon during 2014. The contribution process is overseen by the Corporate Governance and Policy Committee of our Board of Directors, which receives a comprehensive report and briefing on these activities at least annually. We intend to update this voluntary disclosure twice a year and publish it on our corporate website. We believe this transparency with respect to our political spending is in keeping with our commitment to good corporate governance and a further sign of our responsiveness to the interests of our shareowners.
