Dr. Neal Dunn grew up in an Army family and was stationed at over 20 places before college including in Vietnam during middle school. He was an Eagle Scout and National Merit Scholar before matriculating at Washington and Lee University. After medical school at George Washington, he joined the US Army as a surgeon completing his residency at Walter Reed Army Medical Center (WRAMC) and Surgical Fellowship at Duke University. He continued his surgical career in many stations around the world before settling in Bay County, Florida in 1990. It was during his service at WRAMC in Washington that he met and married his wife Leah, of over 30 years.
Florida’s Second District is home to extensive row crops, peanuts, cotton, cattle, dairy, poultry and some of the most productive forests in the nation. The agriculture industry is an integral part of the economy in the Second District.
I was honored to receive an appointment to the House Agriculture Committee, where we are getting right to work reviewing our farm policies in preparation for a new Farm Bill. I look forward to working with my colleague Congressman Ted Yoho to ensure the voices of Florida farmers and foresters are heard in Congress.
