Independents are winning close to home
Independent and nonpartisan candidates from Florida and across the country have run without major parties, won, and are now holding office.
Heather DeitchmanFormer City Council Candidate, Palm Beach Gardens, FL
“Because I don't have a party affiliation, there is no party money. Because I'm not a politically aligned person already, I don't have friends that own giant businesses in the city. I'm not part of a program or organization that currently exists in my city in which people rub elbows to get money.”
Tracy SaundersMayor, Port Wentworth, GA
“The biggest challenge of running as an independent is that you don't have built-in big party support. Being able to pull in supporters from both parties was a benefit, but it is much harder without that built-in support system.”
Kimberly HaaseCity Council, Acworth, GA
“It's about the people and helping the people, and not getting caught up in the bureaucracy of party-driven campaigns.”
