WASHINGTON, D.C. – Today the Board of Directors announced an endorsement of Darren Soto, who is running for re-election to Congress representing Florida’s 9th Congressional District.
“Equality PAC is proud to support Representative Darren Soto for re-election to Congress,” said Equality PAC CoChair Rep.

And he has stood with our community in the face of violence, discrimination, and every other challenge.”
