DEBARY -- Lisa Gailey understands and fully supports her husband in his quest to win elective office and represent the interests of Volusia County's forgotten area.

"We've got a good team o people working really hard," she said, adding it's a family affair, with her, and their two children, a daughter, Jacqueline, 15, and a son, Ricky, 13.

Lisa Gailey of DeBary, wife of County Council District 5 candidate Rich Gailey, spent eight days in July on a 'New Missions' trip to the Dominican Republic to bring school supplies to children. Lisa Gailey, 46, is shown with the married couple's children, Jacqueline, 15, and Ricky, 13, sitting on the front row with a sponsor child.

Lisa Gailey, a full-time dental hygienist, recently returned from a "New Missions" church trip with her children in the Dominican Republic for eight days in July with school supplies earlier this year, but without her husband, who has committed himself to the campaign full time.

She said Rich Gailey's priority, if elected, is to work on ways to help develop job creation that so that not so many of the adult-working population in his district -- Deltona, DeBary, Enterprise and Osteen, can work closer to home as opposed to crossing the St. Johns Bridge into Seminole County to work in communities like Sanford and Lake Mary and in Orlando in Orange County.

"He's hoping to bring more businesses here locally," she said, so they don't have to travel as far, which she stressed is important for family togetherness. Deltona ranks among the highest communities nationwide for divorces.

Gailey's confident her husband of 19 years will fare well in Tuesday's primary.
