Although we may have lost Amendment 2, our community did elect some strong leaders on a local level!
- Kevin Beckner won a seat on the Hillsborough County Commission in Florida, unseating anti-gay incumbent Brian Blair and becoming the first openly LGBT candidate elected in the county.
In Wilton Manors, FL (a city in the Greater Fort Lauderdale Area), it was a gay sweep! Three openly gay candidates were elected:
- Gary Resnick- Mayor
- Justin Flippen- City Commissioner
- Tom Green- City Commissioner
