Meet Linda Tripp
As a mother and educator, Linda understands the needs of the people of Florida and will fight for our communities. A life-long Floridian, Linda grew up in Miami and relocated to LaBelle in 1980 with her husband and two children. Initially she worked as a classroom teacher in public elementary and middle schools. After earning her masters degree she served the families of students with disabilities in Hendry, Highlands, Glades, and Desoto Counties with the Florida Diagnostic and Learning Resources System. Linda also advocated for students with disabilities as a Staffing Specialist with Hendry County Schools. Linda has worked for families in our communities for decades and we need her in Tallahassee on our side.
