PALM BEACH COUNTY, FLORIDA, UNITED STATES, August 9, 2022 /
EINPresswire.com/ -- We are proud to announce, after holding a forum in which ALL candidates were invited, the Palm Beach County Democratic Black Caucus has endorsed Michelle Oyola McGovern for Palm Beach County Commission, District 6!
Michelle has made diversity and inclusion hallmarks in her campaign. That's why Michelle has organized a broad coalition of residents, elected officials and community organizations. Michelle is focused on the issues that matter to our community.
• Fixing the housing crisis
• Standing up for stronger gun safety legislation
• Protecting women's rights
• Protecting our neighborhoods, environment and quality of life
• Supporting our public schools and education
• Ensuring fairness, equality and inclusion in every decision that is made
Michelle's opponent, Matt Willhite, didn't even show up to the Black Caucus meeting to discuss their issues. Matt has a long record of not showing up for issues that matter to us, but he is there for the NRA or his special interest donors when needed.
Vote for real leadership. Vote for Michelle Oyola McGovern for Palm Beach County Commission, District 6!

Michelle Oyola McGovern has over two decades of policy, governmental, and community experience. Michelle began her career in public service with the Florida Department of Children and Families. Her career led her to work for U.S. Senator Bill Nelson, first in his D.C. office and then as his regional Director for the Palm Beaches and the Treasure Coast (first ever in the region by any FL U.S. Senator). Michelle's job involved meeting with community and local elected leaders to discuss policy initiatives and identify federal dollars to support local projects. A proactive leader, Michelle was promoted to serve as Senator Nelson's Statewide Director overseeing a team of 10 regional directors and staff across seven regional offices throughout Florida. Michelle worked in these public advocacy roles with Senator Nelson for 18 years.
Michelle now serves as the Director of Government and Community Relations for a major healthcare system. She focuses on creating, guiding, and promoting positive relationships. Her work to help local leaders and the community navigate important health and medical issues over the last two years has provided Michelle with essential experience that will prove critical as our county deals with the impacts of COVID-19 and other issues.
Michelle also currently serves - or has served – with numerous organizations, including past President and Member of the Board of Directors of the Forum Club of the Palm Beaches; founding Member and first President of West Palm 100; past President and Member of the Board of Directors of SunFest; Trustee of the Chamber of Commerce of the Palm Beaches; President's Circle Member (Trustee) for the Wellington Chamber of Commerce; and Trustee for the Central Palm Beach County Chamber of Commerce. Michelle was most recently Treasurer of The Homeless Coalition of Palm Beach County, and Chairperson of its Mayor’s Ball, and she is the Chairwoman of the Palm Beach County Advisory Commission on Women, where she continues her advocacy efforts on behalf of Palm Beach County women and girls.
Michelle is a proud mom to two daughters and wife to John, Councilman for the Village of Wellington. Michelle comes from a large Puerto Rican family; she is the oldest of four sisters. A trailblazer in her own way, Michelle was the first in her family to attend college. Her parents instilled a passion for service and the importance of hard work, honesty, and integrity in everything she sets out to accomplish. Michelle, John, and their two daughters live in the Village of Wellington, Palm Beach County, FL.
