Buchanan is fighting for New College | Letter to the Herald
I am a 22-year-old New College of Florida senior. I have also been an intern at Congressman Vern Buchanan’s Bradenton District Office since 2018.
Buchanan has always been candid with me (and others) about his belief in the quality of the education I was receiving, for that alone I was grateful. Now though, to see the Congressman actively fighting and lobbying for the independence of my treasured institution — I have gained a new sense of pride in Buchanan entirely. He chose fighting for a 22-year-old kid and her tiny, eccentric, incredible school.
I will be attending law school in the fall. My admission into my top choice school is as much due to the exemplary quality of education I received at New College, as much as it is due to the experience gained with Congressman Buchanan. To be clear, the Sarasota/Manatee area was better a place to live because I was educated at New College ... under Congressman Buchanan’s leadership.
