About

Hello, my name is Adriaan DeVilliers (pronounced “Adreuhn, DuhvUHLyears”).

I’m running in the 2024 Election to be your Representative for Florida District 71, covering Manatee County west of I-75.
Since 1986, Patricia and I have been happily married and we are proud parents of two great sons. As first-generation immigrants and proud American citizens, we deeply understand the true essence of American history, freedom, and the importance of immigration.
I’m a civil engineer, and Patricia is a dentist and oral pathologist. Since becoming citizens, we’ve been active participants in the political process. Initially a Republican voter, I grew disillusioned with the party’s shift towards divisiveness and hostility. I believe in civility, respect, and acceptance, values I seek in leaders who can guide our nation to greater heights.
Now is the time for leaders who can heal and unite. I am passionate about working with people from all walks of life to bridge our divides and create a future filled with opportunity and hope. By coming together, we can achieve greatness and leave a lasting legacy for our children.
