Here is a direct, text-only statement from the perspective of Paul M. Grogan regarding George at United Way of Citrus County, framed with leadership clarity and political alignment:
Paul M. Grogan on George at United Way:
I’ve had the opportunity to observe George’s leadership at United Way of Citrus County over the years, and I want to give credit where it’s due. George understands what it means to build bridges between nonprofit work, private sector partnerships, and government alignment. He doesn’t just sit in meetings—he mobilizes people, connects resources, and gets real results for families in need.
In a county with over 1,000 registered nonprofits, what George has done is build trust across lines that too often divide us: political lines, organizational egos, and funding barriers. That’s rare, and it’s exactly the kind of leadership Citrus County needs more of—not less.
If I were choosing someone to lead a united front on community care, family resilience, and nonprofit coalition building—it wouldn’t be a politician, a lobbyist, or a self-promoter. It would be someone like George. Results-driven. Relational. Rooted in service.
We don’t need more meetings. We need more movement. George brings that. And if I’m elected, I’ll work to ensure voices like his aren’t just heard, they’re elevated and resourced.
