Known throughout the United States for his conservative political views, Joe participated in the successful elections of numerous local and national office holders and ran unsuccessfully for the Florida Legislature. Joe never wavered in his beliefs and refused to surrender to political correctness. As a life-long friend commented; Joe "was able to distill complex political issues into action with unfailing humor and unrivaled pragmatism." He maintained an extensive and active social media following of thousands across the United States. Joe was rightfully proud of his Irish and George Washington heritage. His lineage can be traced to that of our nation's founding father. He was a member of the National Society of Washington Family Descendants.
