Raised with humble beginnings\, Leela learned early on what it means to earn your way—working hard in middle and high school\, from babysitting and lifeguarding to fast food service and waiting tables. Her father opened a small auto shop\, and while her family relied on food stamps at times\, they never stopped working to make ends meet.  \nDriven by a call to serve\, Leela became an ROTC cadet and rose steadily through the ranks of  the U.S. Army\, working relentlessly to earn every opportunity and receiving recognition for her  grit\, determination\, and character. Leela served more than 30 years in uniform\, including two combat deployments and a peacekeeping mission. She represented the United States overseas and strengthened combat readiness for our forces in the Middle East. Leela was always focused on one mission: working for the men and women beside her and the American families counting on them back home. \nWhile serving in the Army Reserve\, Leela built a successful civilian career in technology and strategic communications\, growing businesses\, managing budgets\, and serving on advisory boards. After retiring from the military\, she earned her law degree\, helping veterans access healthcare and other critical benefits. Leela is running for Congress because she knows leadership is about solving problems\, protecting our freedoms\, and standing up for hardworking Americans\, not Washington elites. \nLeela and her husband\, Tony\, have lived in the Tampa Bay area for more than 20 years and are proud parents of their daughter\, Bailly.  \n\nThis meeting is free and open to the public. BG Gray’s presentation is part of Florida Veterans for Common Sense’s efforts to educate the public on candidates and issues for the 2026 elections. BG Gray’s expressed views are her own and do not imply FLVCS’s agreement. Her presentation does not constitute FLVCS’s endorsement of her candidacy.  \nReturn to the FLVCS Calendar.

Born and raised in Boca Raton\, Curtis earned a nomination to the U.S. Naval Academy from Congressman Ron Klein and graduated with a degree in Systems Engineering. From the moment he earned his wings\, Curtis embraced every challenge—from locating the wreckage of EgyptAir Flight 804 to hunting terrorists off the Horn of Africa. He later served as a Navy Legal Officer\, Department Head\, and Aerospace Engineer where he led multidisciplinary teams\, oversaw flight safety programs\, and advised senior leadership on ethics\, law\, and operational risk. \nAfter active duty\, Curtis joined the Federal Aviation Administration as an Aviation Safety Inspector\, where he investigated more than one hundred accident and incident investigations. When the 2019 government shutdown threatened the safety of the flying public\, Curtis stepped forward as a union spokesperson for the Professional Aviation Safety Specialists\, risking his own career to ensure that safety inspectors remained on the job. His courage and integrity under fire earned him respect throughout the aviation community and underscored his belief that leadership means standing up for what matters\, regardless of personal cost.

Bio: \n\n \n Kenney is an army veteran one of the first 10 physicians assistants the army created in 1967 for the American war in Vietnam. \nAll 10 original PA’s practiced orthopedics surgery and later Kenney became the first PA to work in neurosurgery. That was in New York City during the 70s.\nMeeting Bruce Springsteen in 1968 in New Jersey working in an Army Hospital near Asbury Park\, Kenney began dance/acting out some of the ‘Boss’s songs which led him to become a mime dancer\, eventually even taking a workshop with Marcel Marcel. \nAnd then after that hospital work depressed him with the financial world of medicine\, he quit his neuro-surgical position with the New York Medical College\, Flower Fifth Avenue and Metropolitan Hospitals in New York City and went into show business. \nKenney became a body linguist/health coach and choreographer and known in New York City as deDisco Mime\, performing at the Limelight Disco\, Roseland Ballroom Copacabana\, and even Studio 54. He performed\, staged and worked with Bruce Springsteen\, Donna Summer\, Andy Warhol\, Gloria Gaynor\, Sister Sledge\, Phil Collins. Peter\, Paul and Mary\, The Trammps and many more over those 18 disco years. He then established a performing school for the Kids Dance Company and a production company producing live events\, KDC Happy Shows\, in the Chicagoland area and working with the City of Chicago Special Events Office. \nIn the late 1980’s Kenney was also traveling the world performing and teaching classes on body language\, health\, and nutrition. These have taken place in schools\, universities\, Rotary and Kiwanis Clubs\, Business Conventions even on cruise ships. He taught these classes in 7 countries doing more than 140 presentations especially for elementary through high school students. These lectures are titled “Body Language The Art of Mime.” His adult lectures\, which are somewhat similar\, because he treats you older kids like you’re still younger than ever wanting to learn\, these are titled “The Head Has a Body”. \nHis full international program is known as: “Human Growth Education“. To teach and inspire awareness of our body control as we age. \n\n\nReturn to the FLVCS Calendar

David earned his B.A. magna cum laude from Yale University\, where he was Phi Beta Kappa\, and later earned his J.D. from Yale Law School. \nDavid finished first out of 26 candidates in his first run for political office\, and served on Cincinnati City Council from 2001-2005. In 2006\, he flipped Hamilton County blue for the first time in 40 years when he ousted the incumbent commissioner; he then served on the Commission from 2007-2010\, including as its president in 2009-2010. David was the Democratic candidate for Ohio Auditor in 2010 and Ohio Attorney General in 2014. He was elected chair of the Ohio Democratic Party in December 2014. \nIn 1999\, David clerked for the Honorable Nathaniel Jones of the United States Court of Appeals for the Sixth Circuit. After 2000\, David also worked in the Cincinnati offices of major law firms Squire Sanders and Blank Rome\, focusing his practice on commercial and business litigation\, and appellate litigation. David also teaches election and voting rights law as an Adjunct Professor at the University of Cincinnati College of Law. \nBetween his undergraduate and law school years\, David spent three years doing international work in St. Petersburg\, Russia. Based out of the Center for Strategic and International Studies—a Washington D.C. think tank—he served as a research intern for Zbigniew Brzezinski for part of 1993\, followed by several years as the assistant director of a project providing technical assistance to the City of St. Petersburg as it underwent economic reform. In that role\, David interacted with international figures such as Henry Kissinger\, Paul Bremer\, ambassadors\, members of Congress\, business leaders\, and Vladimir Putin\, who was then Vice Mayor of St. Petersburg. \nPlease invite your family and friends to the FLVCS August 2024 meeting. \nFLVCS Postcard Campaign\nCome to the meeting early and pitch in with FLVCS’s Postcard Campaign.
