PACE Endorsements for the 2020 Elections
As social workers we have a commitment to pursuing justice and working for positive change in the larger community, as well as with our clients. Our Legislative Committee works hard all year following state policies that affect our profession and our clients.
PACE is a separate entity within NASW-FL that endorses candidates for State office and we will endorse social work candidates in local elections.
I am very pleased that our committee, with the capable support of our Executive Director, Jim Akin and our lobbyist, Michael Cusick, spent several meetings reviewing candidates' positions on issues affecting social work. Our committee members represent all parts of Florida. And we depend on the members and you to suggest names of candidates to support-you know your community and that is how we initially consider whom to support.
The following lists the candidates we have endorsed. We will be presenting them with a letter and campaign contribution in the next week. We urge you to support these candidates with contributions or volunteer time. When you volunteer, please tell them you represent NASW-FL.
You will see on the list three candidates for local office. All are social workers. We urge you to consider running for office. As social workers we have the skills and knowledge to make wise decisions about issues affecting our state and community.
Please vote! Vote early and remind all your friends to do so and please vote for the candidates in your area who we have endorsed!
Ruth Brandwein, Chair
