PALM BEACH
Kamala D. Harris & Tim Walz
For President & Vice President of the United States
Vice President Kamala Harris has devoted her career to fighting for the people. As the daughter of parents who brought her to civil rights marches in a stroller, she was inspired to tackle injustice from an early age. She took that mission to county courtrooms, the California Attorney General’s office, the United States Senate, and the White House. Now she is running for President of the United States to continue protecting our freedoms, delivering justice, and expanding opportunity so that every American can not just get by, but get ahead.
Debbie Mucarsel-Powell
For United States Senate
Debbie Mucarsel-Powell is a proud mother and Floridian running to be Florida’s next U.S. Senator. Debbie got her start working her way from a minimum wage job at a donut shop to serving as the first South American immigrant in Congress. Since then, she has delivered hundreds of millions of dollars in transit investments and Everglades restoration funds to Florida, written the bill to expand Medicare, and fought to protect Floridians’ freedoms. Debbie and her husband Robert live in Miami and have three children.
Jay Shooster
DISTINCTION CANDIDATE | For State House, District 91
Jay Shooster is running to represent the Boca Raton area in the Florida State House, because he believes we need a champion for change who will put the people of Palm Beach County first. As a consumer protection attorney, educator, and proud resident of Boca, he's spent his career fighting for Floridians and holding corporations accountable. Now, he's ready to take that fight to Tallahassee. Jay got in this fight to protect reproductive freedom, prevent gun violence, and address the property insurance crisis, and he's ready to work to protect and uplift everyone in his community, regardless of who they are or what they believe.
Rachelle Litt
DISTINCTION CANDIDATE | For State House, District 94
Rachelle Litt is a dedicated public servant with a strong track record of success. In 2017, despite challenging odds, she was elected to the Palm Beach Gardens City Council, where she went on to serve as Vice Mayor and Mayor. During her time serving Palm Beach Gardens, Rachelle promoted responsible growth, supported small businesses, and addressed the housing affordability crisis, all while maintaining fiscal responsibility. Her career as a pharmacist shaped her commitment to improving healthcare access. Rachelle and her husband have called Palm Beach County home for nearly 40 years, raising three children and enjoying their growing family.
