Lile runs for Florida House

Laird A. Lile will run for a seat in the Florida House of Representatives. He would represent the state's 76th district.

"My filing papers are on the way to Tallahassee, where I look forward to championing causes important to the people of Collier County and all of Florida -- a stronger economy, lower taxes and more jobs," Lile said in a release announcing his candidacy.

A Naples resident since 1987, Lile presently works full-time as a trusts and estates attorney.
