PALM BEACH COUNTY, FLORIDA, UNITED STATES, August 18, 2022 /EINPresswire.com/ -- Current Palm Beach County Commissioner for District 6, Melissa McKinlay, endorses Michelle Oyola McGovern for Palm Beach County Commission, District 6!

Here is what she had to say:

“The race for County Commission, District 6 presents voters with an important choice:

Michelle Oyola McGovern, a life-long Democrat and community advocate, has a record of bringing forward real initiatives that get results to improve the lives of all residents.

Matt Willhite is a 14-year career politician with a long record of lacking leadership when it comes to the issues we care about the most.

Matt Willhite, has been spending hundreds of thousands of dollars hoping to cover up his real record:
• Voted with the NRA on concealed guns
• Voted with Republicans to make housing more expensive
• Sponsored ZERO bills to protect a woman’s right to choose. ZERO!

At every turn there are Republican attacks on women’s rights and our democratic process, so we cannot afford a flip-flop Democrat who does the bare minimum and waffles on our most important issues. As your current County Commissioner, I know Michelle Oyola McGovern has what it takes to improve the lives of ALL District 6 residents.

Michelle is a true Democrat, but MORE IMPORTANTLY, she is the big-hearted, servant leader that we need next. It would be a huge mistake to settle for anything less.

I encourage you and all of your fellow Democrats to get out and vote for Michelle Oyola McGovern for Palm Beach County Commission, District 6. She has my vote and my support because I know Michelle, and I know she is the best prepared to address our housing shortage, fight for common-sense gun laws and protect a woman’s right to choose.

Now is time to make the right choice for District 6! Vote for Michelle Oyola McGovern.”

Michelle's campaign continues to grow its extensive list of endorsements. This latest community endorsement adds to the long list of organizations and over 55 local leaders supporting Michelle Oyola McGovern for Palm Beach County Commission, District 6.
