Lesperance Endorsed by Women's Campaign Forum PROMINENT NATIONAL ENDORSEMENT WILL BOOST FINANCES MIAMI – Attorney and Democratic candidate for Florida House of Representatives in District 117, Lisa Lesperance today announced her campaign received the prestigious national endorsement from Women's Campaign Forum. "I am delighted and honored to receive such high-profile recognition for our campaign," Lesperance said. "I'm very excited to add the national and in-state strength of women political leaders to our team and am proud to be a champion on women's issues." The Women's Campaign Forum is dedicated to advancing the political participation and leadership of women who support reproductive health choices for all. WCF, founded in 1974, is a non-partisan national network dedicated to achieving parity for women in public office. In securing the WCF endorsement, Lesperance will gain access to the strong national donor network of the Forum and will have her campaign featured on Forum communications to their members and is already listed on the WCF website as an endorsed candidate. This most recent endorsement is the latest in a string of endorsements for Lesperance. This month alone, Lesperance has received official support from Miami-Dade's classroom teachers, and the working families of the Florida AFL-CIO. "We've been working hard and backing up that work with a genuine passion that I think people can really see," Lesperance said. "We have a ways to go yet, but I'm very excited about where our campaign is right now." District 117 is an open seat currently represented by term-limited Republican Rep. Julio Robaina. This week, seven Republicans qualified for the seat and will face one another in a tough August 24th Primary. Lesperance has more than $40,000 cash on hand in her campaign account and with no primary opposition will face the Republican nominee in November.
