Ruth’s List is excited to announce our latest endorsements – Cindy Stuart, running for re-election as Hillsborough County Clerk of the Court and Nancy Millan, running for re-election as Hillsborough County Tax Collector!
Republicans in Hillsborough have been working to recruit challengers to each of the four countywide elected Democratic constitutional officers in Hillsborough County – Cindy and Nancy included, as both of them recently drew Republican challengers. Making sure that we protect the two countywide elected Democratic pro-choice women constitutional officers in Hillsborough County is a priority for Ruth’s List this election cycle – but we need your help.
Cindy Stuart previously served for eight years on the Hillsborough County School Board before her successful election as Clerk of the Circuit Court in 2020. In her first term, she has introduced critical 24/7 services for Hillsborough County, including “Passport Saturdays” and a food pantry in partnership with Feeding Tampa Bay. She has been instrumental in speeding up the domestic violence injunction process, offering survivors online forms, remote notary services, and text notifications for case rulings. She is proud of how she led the Hillsborough Clerk's office through the challenges brought on by the pandemic and remains committed to continuing her team’s mission of equity, transparency, and independence.
Nancy Millan was the first woman and first individual of Hispanic descent to be elected as Hillsborough County Tax Collector. She began her career in the Hillsborough Tax Collector’s Office at just 22 years old as an Accounting Clerk and worked her way up through the ranks of the office for 30 years, ultimately serving as Director of Community Relations before being elected to serve as Tax Collector in 2020. Her team serves close to 1 million customers in the branch offices and over 400,000 by phone annually while maintaining a customer satisfaction rating of 95%. Nancy is also committed to fiscal accountability and has continued the office’s long history of financial audits free of findings for over two decades – an accomplishment she takes pride in for an office that collects and distributes over 3 billion dollars annually.
Ruth’s List is so proud to be behind these dedicated local leaders in Tampa Bay. Cindy Stuart and Nancy Millan are exceedingly qualified women who have been leading locally for decades and doing the hard, important, and thankless work for the taxpaying residents of Hillsborough County since 2020. Ruth’s List is committed to fighting to protect their critical countywide seats and won’t allow Hillsborough Republicans to take out these dedicated women leaders if we have anything to say about it – but we can’t do it without you.
John, Will you join us in helping them win their critical re-election campaigns this fall?
