Previously he served the appointed position of Deputy Attorney General for the state of Florida and Chief of Staff to Charlie Crist. LeMieux is a self-described "Charlie Crist Republican."

Political Views

On abortion, George LeMieux is pro-life except in cases of incest or "parental abuse" involving a minor. Although he opposes same sex marriage he supports gay adoption and same-sex benefits. On a tax reform he has stated that "Income taxes unfairly penalize hard work, and a progressive tax system deters hard work. As for sales-tax rebates for stadiums and arenas, I would prioritize our tax money in other ways." [3] Upon his Senate announcement LeMieux said he was worried about the national deficit and was a believer in "limited government." Additionally, LeMieux said he was "concerned" about current proposals for the government option in health care, although stopped short of opposing it. [4]

LeMieux opposes off-shore drilling in Florida's coast.
