She ( Keri Clark) refused to give me the document I needed for my licensing in Florida for my nursing. She made it take longer and costing me money. I needed a no record letter and since the police of Union County, (Anna pd )and Tami turner misspelled my name she wouldn’t give me the document. If I had a record those documents are public record so why isn't this? The Florida board didn’t understand why she wouldn’t give it to me! I hope she knows that she has lost votes in union county!And I hope she doesn’t get reelected for the sake of the people In Union County!
