Why do we
collect petitions?
Not every candidate who files to run for office will appear on the August 18th Primary Election ballot, you have to qualify!
The State of Florida has mandated that each congressional candidate in this district must either collect 2,564 signatures by May 11th or pay $10,000 to qualify.
Many candidates will just pay the fee, but we are choosing to collect signatures. This gives us a chance to connect with our community, improve Kimberly’s name recognition, and create great relationships with volunteers like you!
