Special Election, District 19, on April 13: Voters in Congressional District 19 will elect a U.S. Representative to replace Robert Wexler who resigned. This candidate will serve until January, 2011 when the winner of the November general election will take office. The following candidates are running to fill this position:
• Edward J. Lynch (Republican)
• Ted Deutch (Democrat)
• Jim McCormick (no party affiliation)
• Josue Larose (write-in)
If you live in District 19, you can learn more about these candidates on their websites and watch your local papers for information or any announced public appearances. LWVPBC will not be having a candidates forum at this time. We are planning to put our efforts into the November elections when the candidates will be running for full-terms.

* Candidate Forums. Before elections the League sponsors forums on TV and in local community centers to explore positions of candidates on topics related to the upcoming election. In accordance with League guidelines candidates must focus on issues and are firmly prohibited from making personal attacks on one another.

* Legislative Action. When important votes on issues about which the League has a position come before state and national legislatures, League members are notified so they may lobby their representatives. For information about League recommendations contact the LWVPBC at (561) 276-4898.
