“Joey Mendoza-Atkins brings a rare blend of legal discipline, natural systems expertise, and direct experience advocating for farmworkers and rural families. Joey understands how policy decisions directly impact food supply chains, water quality, and local farm margins. His depth of knowledge and practical framework for solving complex agricultural challenges made him exceptional in the Agriculture Caucus’s evaluation."

"...we like his focus on the potential to protect the environment while boosting agriculture. He’s answering questions – and those answers reveal that he’s done a lot of work to prepare for the commissioner’s role... if Floridians want a fresh approach to the state’s oldest industry, and a tireless advocate for consumer rights, Atkins is the better choice."
