The American Civil Liberties Union in Florida is launching a new effort to put civil rights issues at the forefront of voters’ minds in this year’s elections, with a special focus on elections for sheriff, supervisor of elections and state attorney in Broward County.
With so much attention going to the presidential election, it’s important to bring attention to races that otherwise might not get much attention from voters, said Micah Kubic, executive director of the ACLU of Florida.
- State Attorney Mike Satz, who was first elected in 1976, is retiring.
- Supervisor of Elections Peter Antonacci is an appointee, serving out the final 13 months of former Elections Supervisor Brenda Snipes, who held the office since 2003.
