“I have been honored to serve as Chair of the Senate Committee on Children, Families and Elder Affairs and for the opportunity to lead the Florida Senate in shaping smart, out-of-the-box policy to protect the health, safety, and wellbeing of children and vulnerable adults,” Book said in a statement. “This work does not stop with the end of my chairmanship – I have been doing it far before entering the Senate, and will continue long after I leave.”
