“Merritt is the best candidate to keep our rivers clean.”
Merritt is one of the great leaders of the river movement, and I've seen firsthand what he can do.
He has been a critical bridge between our community and the Army Corps of Engineers and the South Florida Water Management District. That kind of relationship building is rare.
