We always have reasons to be proud of our Wedgworth Alumni Members,
and today we have two more reasons!
Class II Member to run for Florida Congressional District 15
Danny Kushmer, Class II, announced on April 17th, 2018, that he will run for the open Florida Congressional District 15 seat being vacated by the Honorable Dennis Ross.
Danny Kushmer, a third generation Floridian from Hillsborough County with deep roots in agriculture announced, “After consulting with friends and family; with a great sense of humility, I will run for Florida’s 15th Congressional Seat. The time has come to bring a new perspective to Congress.”
Kushmer currently serves as the Executive Director of International Responsible Farming Council (IRFC), a not-for-profit corporation telling the American Farmer’s story through certification and participation in best management practices to ensure use of the latest food safety protocols. Additionally, he is the Director of Environmental and Regulatory Compliance for Highland Precision Ag. Previously, from 2007 to 2016, he was the Senior Government Affairs Manager for the Southwest Florida Water Management District.
We are so pleased with Danny for stepping up in true Wedgworth fashion to lead in his district, and we are confident that he will make us proud as he represents our program! Good luck on the campaign trail!
