This is gonna be a fun show! Why? Cause some of our favorite friends are coming to see us on Sunday! Tom and Nate are not only good firends of the show but their are politicians who are serious about bringing some real progress to Florida. Tom is even a SUncoast NORML member!
Tom Keen is a decorated 21-year military veteran, a former Naval Flight Officer, and successful businessman in the high-tech aerospace training and simulation industry.
Tom’s commitment to public service continued long after serving our country. He has been active in several veteran-service organizations and has served on both the City of Orlando Citizens’ Police Review Board and the Mayor’s Veteran Advisory Council. He has also participated in both Leadership Orlando and the Mayor’s City Academy.
Tom’s technical oversight and budgeting experience make him qualified to effectively serve and uplift our communities for all residents, well into the future. Tom has been married to Laura Keen for 32 years. They have two grown children and live in the Laureate Park neighborhood of Lake Nona.
Nate Douglas is an educator, policy researcher, and the youngest elected official in Orange County history. Raised by hard-working first generation immigrants during the Great Recession, Nate saw his mother – a teacher of 25 years – take on a part time job at a theme park, and his father – a landscaper – open up a small business just to make ends meet. Nate entered politics with a vow to protect working-class families like his own from the same corporate greed that caused the Great Recession. He advocates for homeowners and renters against exploitative practices, champions bodily autonomy under a regressive state government, and fights to protect our environment from the influence of big developers and fossil fuel industries.
