FLORIDA BLACK CAUCUS LEADERS, SCORES OF AFRICAN-AMERICAN OFFICIALS ENDORSE HILLARY CLINTONMarch 2, 2016
A day after Hillary Clinton won a majority of Democratic delegates up for grabs in last nights Super Tuesday primaries partly on the strength of her support in minority communities about 100 African-American Florida elected officials came out in support the former Secretary of States bid for the White House.
Among them were the Florida Legislative Black Caucus, and its new chairman Tampa state Rep. Ed Narain.
The most senior black legislator in Florida, Sen. Arthenia Joyner,
Jacksonville state Rep. Mia Jones and Gadsden County Commission Chairwoman Brenda Holt also issued emphatic endorsements of Clinton, whose spouse former President Bill Clinton is sometimes jokingly referred to as the first black president for his strong rapport with the African-American community.
Jacksonville U.S. Rep. Corrine Brown also officially came out in support of Clintons campaign, as did state Sens. Oscar Braynon, Audrey Gibson, and Geraldine Thompson.
