On Gwen Graham (Lt. Governor pick)

Since she's running as David Jolly's running mate, a vote for him is automatically a vote for her. Her background is solid — former Congresswoman (2015–2017), daughter of former Governor Bob Graham, and she served in the Biden administration as Assistant Secretary of Education from 2021–2025 with bipartisan support. But I couldn't find any specific, documented accomplishment from that role — no bill or policy win tied to her by name. My support for her comes down to alignment with Jolly, not a standout record of her own.

Former PTA president and school advisory council chair, Assistant Secretary at the US Dept. of Education. The most pro Public Education candidate for Lieutenant Governor.

Her commitment to public education matters to me, and I value her experience and willingness to work across the aisle.
