Testimonials

“It’s a hard thing to pass a law in Florida.  There are over 25 steps for a bill to go completely through the legislative process.  At any point, a bill could be killed. That’s a substantial number of hurdles. The process requires an enormous amount of dedication and  tactical insight, knowledge of personalities and power relationships.  Moffitt possesses all of those traits.”

“With Speaker Lee Moffitt, what you see is what you get. His passion, commitment, vision and experience speak for themselves. His decades of leadership in Florida are as impactful as anyone I have ever met.”

A Tampa Tribune editorial described the H. Lee Moffitt Cancer Center and Research Institute as the product of Moffitt’s “steel persistence and cotton diplomacy.” It captured the essence of the man whose sheer will, visionary leadership and tenacious character had endured a legislative struggle to establish Florida’s first free-standing cancer center. “The art of politics is compromising,” said the editorial. “But the point of compromise is to get things done. Lee Moffitt did.” ​
