Republican candidate for the Florida House of Representatives District 120, Rhonda Rebman Lopez, has officially received enough signatures from District 120 voters to place her name on the ballot in this year’s election.
While gathering several hundred more valid petitions than required, as of May 1, the Florida Secretary of State reported that Rebman Lopez has obtained the 1,013 petition signatures necessary to qualify.
Rebman Lopez entered the race for House District 120 in September 2019 and has continued to demonstrate momentum through her fundraising and grass-roots campaign efforts.
“I want to thank the over one thousand voters who signed a petition asking that I be a candidate to serve as their state representative,” she said. “I am humbled and grateful for the overwhelming support that the voters across the Keys and South Dade have shown me and our campaign.”
“I am pleased to be supported by voters of all party affiliations and walks of life, who believe that I am the candidate best suited to represent their needs and interests in Tallahassee,” she continued. “Despite the coronavirus pandemic, the voters of House District 120 have demonstrated their great enthusiasm for my message of lower taxes, less regulation, and safeguarding our unique natural resources and agricultural region.”
Rebman Lopez’s 1,013 validated petitions is the highest number of petitions ever submitted by a candidate running in House District 120. To date, Rebman Lopez has raised over $200,000 in her campaign to replace current and term-limited Rep. Holly Raschein; ranking her the third highest State House fundraising candidate in all of Florida.
