In response to her victory in tonight’s election for Florida State Senate District 3, Senator-Elect Loranne Ausley issues the following statement:
“My family and I spent the last day of the campaign together touring this beautifully diverse 11 county district. Having spent my life in the Big Bend, it is truly an honor that the citizens of Senate District 3 have put their trust in me to serve as their next Senator. Bill Montford and Al Lawson leave big shoes to fill, but I am up to the task and will look forward to their guidance as we move from what has been a tough campaign trail to governing in these challenging times. I will continue to fight for our children and our public schools, to protect our land and water, and to strongly advocate on behalf of our state workers. I am also committed to be a voice for rural Florida, particularly our neighbors that are still struggling to recover from Hurricane Michael. Thank you to all of our supporters who put in so much time and effort to help us get across the finish line.”
