Florida LGBTQ+ Democratic Caucus Local Chapters Announce Endorsements

The local chapters of the Florida LGBTQ+ Democratic Caucus have begun announcing their endorsements for the August 20 Primary election. “Our chapters, those closest to the races, select the best candidates for state legislative, county and local races,” said Kristen Browde, President of the Caucus. “These candidates were chosen because they are those we know will work to insure equality for all Floridians.”

These endorsements follow the Caucus announcement of federal and statewide election endorsements, and the unanimous endorsement of our next President, Kamala Harris, released in the past two weeks. More chapters are expected to report their local endorsements in the coming days.
