Gayle Harrell is the Only CD16 Candidate to Qualify by Petition

Gayle Harrell has successfully collected enough signed petition cards from Congressional District 16 to become an official candidate for Congress.  

Harrell easily collected more than enough petition cards from throughout the district and enjoyed strong support from voters in all eight counties: “I am honored and humbled by the support of thousands of voters throughout the district who took time to voice their support for my candidacy.  I look forward to campaigning across the district and speaking with voters who are looking to send a proven conservative to Congress.”

While other candidates tried to make the ballot through the petition process, Harrell is the only candidate in the race from either party to reach the goal of 4,794 signatures: “Being the only candidate in this race to qualify by petition is a reflection of the hard work of so many of our volunteers and supporters.  It is a testament to the strong grassroots network we continue to build throughout the district.”  

On why only one candidate was able to qualify through the voice of the people, Harrell said:  “I think our message of securing our borders, keeping taxes low and making Florida affordable is resonating with voters.  Today being tax day, I think it is especially important to point out people’s desire to elect someone with a proven record of cutting $28 billion in taxes.”
