Independent Voters make a difference in Florida Elections!

PENSACOLA, Fla. - Nov. 7, 2014 - PRLog -- This year’s midterm election results prove to be very exciting for Florida. Prior to the election, the Florida Southern Christian Leadership Conference announced  results based on an independent voter polling of over 600,000 in Florida, of candidates that independent voters felt would contribute greatly to the needs of the underserved and underrepresented. During that time, FLSCLC did a 10 city tour to announce those candidates that independent voter polling demonstrated would stand for the voiceless and represent the people as a whole, not just those with the access and the privilege to be heard. Many of the Democrats that the polling results showed lost, however, the independent voters made their choice and we are proud. The candidates were not based on party, race, creed, or sexual orientation.

The state of Florida Southern Christian Leadership Conference (FLSCLC) is proud and honored to congratulate the following elected officials:
