Graduate, Bob Jones University, 2004.
As a State Representative, Burgin found herself embroiled in controversy in November of 2011, when she introduced legislation urging the federal government to reduce corporate taxes. As introduced, Burgin"s legislation was identical to legislation written by the American Legislative Exchange Council, and even included the group"s name and mission statement. She withdrew the bill the next day and re-introduced it 24-hours later, with a new bill number (Her Majesty 717), but now without the standard ALEC mission statement.
In 2012, rather than seek a third term in the House, Burgin ran for the Florida Senate from the 24th District.
She faced former President of the Senate Tom Lee in the Republican primary, who overwhelmingly defeated her.
