Former State Representative Carlos Guillermo Smith, endorsed by Equality Florida Action PAC, has clinched victory in the race for State Senate District 17. This historic win makes him the second openly LGBTQ+ member to be elected to the chamber in Florida's history. Voters have rallied behind Carlos, sending him back to Tallahassee to uphold his progressive values and continue fighting for the rights of all Floridians. Known for his unwavering stance against Governor DeSantis’s agenda, Carlos has consistently exposed lies and hypocrisy, even taking legal action to ensure transparency and accountability. Despite facing immense opposition from the Republican Party, including millions invested to flip his seat, Carlos has emerged stronger than ever. This resounding victory not only repudiates the governor's extremist agenda but also reaffirms the electorate's desire for strong leadership that stands up for parents, children, and educators. As Carlos prepares to take his seat in the Florida Senate unopposed, his victory stands as a testament to the unwavering support and respect he commands from the voters in his district. Congratulations, Senator-elect Carlos Guillermo Smith, champion of the people! #Queer Up Politics
