Five senators back Hillary Cassel in HD 99 Democratic primary
Five Democratic senators are throwing their weight behind
Hillary Cassel as she seeks that party’s nomination in House District 99.
Cassel, a lawyer, is battling
Barry Faske of the Florida Green Building Coalition and
Jeremy Katzman, an administrator at Nova Southeastern University’s Health Professions Division, in the Democratic Primary.
Wednesday, Cassel received a significant boost, as Democratic Sens.
Lori Berman,
Perry Thurston all said they would back her bid.
“Hillary Cassel is the strong voice South Florida needs in the state House,” Jones said in a written statement.
“Our democracy is under attack and we need accessible, accountable leadership focused on addressing the challenges impacting our daily lives. I am confident that Hillary will prioritize what matters most — from protecting voting rights, to commonsense solutions to reduce gun violence, to building a healthier, more equitable state where everyone can thrive.”
