STATEWIDE ENDORSEMENTS
for Florida Governor
"Our Everglades, beaches, water, and our way of life are all on the line this November. We can’t continue sitting on the sidelines when it comes to tackling existential environmental challenges. Alongside the Sierra Club of Florida we are mounting a grassroots movement to change the course of our state and protect Florida’s environment for generations."
for Florida Chief Financial Officer
With Florida’s homeowners insurance market on the brink of collapse, Floridians need a CFO who prioritizes residents over party politics and big donors every step of the way. Hattersley, a former State House Rep and Bronze Star recipient, has a track record of putting others before self-interest and an understanding of the changing environment’s role on Floridians’ financial stability. The stakes could not be higher and time is of the essence. Floridians cannot afford to squander another four years to ineffectual leadership.
"I am excited and honored to have the endorsement of the Sierra Club of Florida. As CFO, having a keen awareness and understanding of the impact of climate, storm, and natural disasters upon the risk, real estate and insurance industries is critical to improving the quality of life and financial stability of all Floridians."
