/)ovid Rivera is the Florida House of Representatives member for District 112 and has
diligently served as the representative since 2002 in which time he has shown with his
integrity and tenacity how, by earning the trust and respect of both the electorate and
his peers, not only in the State but also at a national level, it is possible to accomplish
much for the District he represents,' and,
in a District that has a great diversity of cultures, languages and income levels that
stretches across the State from the East coast to the West coast, the challenges of

children and families from sexual predators with the anti-cyber predator legislation
