At just 30 years old, Chad Klitzman is making waves in Florida politics as he vies to represent south Broward County in the state's Senate. If elected, Klitzman will become the youngest member of the Senate, adding a fresh voice to the legislative body. With a diverse background that includes serving in the Obama White House, graduating from Columbia Law School, and even dabbling in screenwriting - with a Netflix movie under his belt -, Klitzman brings a unique perspective to the political arena. Notably, his potential win would also mark a milestone for LGBTQ+ representation in the Florida Legislature. Currently, the state legislature has only one openly gay member, Senator Shevrin Jones. Klitzman's election would double LGBTQ+ representation in the state's lawmaking body. Klitzman's journey into politics began in 2020 during the height of the COVID-19 pandemic when he ran for Elections Supervisor in Broward County. Although he narrowly lost the race, he gained valuable experience and garnered support in the area he now seeks to represent. When questioned by LGBTQ Nation about the melodrama surrounding the Bridget Ziegler story, Klitzman expressed disbelief, likening it to a plotline so outlandish that even Hollywood executives might find it implausible. He highlighted the surreal nature of Florida politics, where the realities often surpass the wildest imaginations. However, he makes it clear that his focus is on real issues facing the community rather than participating in political theatrics. #Queer Up Gay Culture
