John,

We’re completing our powerful endorsed slate of state legislative incumbent candidates in Florida this year with the endorsements of 12 pro-choice women representing their communities today, fighting for our rights in Tallahassee, and running for re-election to serve another term in the State House or Senate.

Ruth’s List Florida is proud to endorse the following incumbent Democratic women legislators for re-election this August and November:

Senate Leader Designate-Elect Tracie Davis, SD-5 (Duval County)

Representative Angie Nixon, HD-13 (Duval County)

Representative LaVon Bracy Davis, HD-40 (Orange County)

Representative Anna V. Eskamani, HD-42 (Orange County)

Representative Johanna López, HD-43 (Orange County)

Representative Michele Rayner, HD-62 (Pinellas & Hillsborough counties)

Representative Dianne Hart, HD-63 (Hillsborough County)

Representative Susan Valdés, HD-64 (Hillsborough County)

Representative Fentrice Driskell, HD-67 (Hillsborough County)

Representative Robin Bartleman, HD-103 (Broward County)

Representative Marie Woodson, HD-105 (Broward & Miami-Dade Counties)

Representative Ashley Gantt, HD-109 (Miami-Dade County)

I encourage you to click the links above and read about how each woman on this list is working to better their community and defend our access to reproductive healthcare. We’ve endorsed even more women running for election and re-election to the Florida House and Senate this year, and you can find them all at RuthsListFL.org/Endorsements. 

There is no greater reflection of Ruth's List’s legacy and the impact of our work than the Democratic women leading the fight for women's reproductive freedom in the Florida Legislature. We are proud to reinforce our support of the women legislators across the state who have been fighting the Republican supermajority’s attacks on the right to choose and advocating for commonsense policies that protect and expand women's access to reproductive healthcare. Ruth's List is committed to ensuring each of these champions are re-elected this August and November and to doing everything in our power to elect even more Democratic pro-choice women to join them in the fight in Tallahassee. 

Your contributions of time, talent, and treasure to these candidates will directly impact their campaigns’ abilities to get out the vote in their districts. Your local legislators need YOU to pitch in this election year so that they can continue serving in Tallahassee, fighting the attacks on our personal freedoms by anti-choice extremists in office, and after we pass Amendment 4 this November, ensuring that it is protected and properly implemented into state law next year. 

When women lead, we all win – but we can’t get there without you, John.

Together,

Cassidy Whitaker

Political Director, Ruth's List Florida
