Florida NOW PAC

Endorsements

All candidates must complete an application to determine the candidate’s values, opinions, and knowledge. We work with many candidates of all gender identities, but we do not endorse all of them. When endorsing a candidate, we are affirming to voters, our members, and our donors that we are confident the candidate is aligned with our 6 core issues.

Applications are open for candidates running for local offices in 2023.

Such candidates should complete the application form at this link:  https://forms.gle/DvbuPw5kJgufxZrD8

NOTE:  Any candidate running in a 2023 special election or non-local race should email

 President@FLNOW.org for endorsement application information.

City / County • School Board • Public Defender / State Attorney • Judicial • State Legislator • Federal

For any additional information or questions on the endorsement process, please contact Florida NOW PAC Director Joanne Sterner at pac@flnow.org.

Congratulations to all of our 2022 endorsed candidates on their races. We are excited to see the work that those elected into office will do.
