Evers Qualifies For Senate Ballot With Petition Signatures

March 3, 2010

Rep. Greg Evers has obtained enough voter signatures to qualify by petition for the ballot for the District 2 Florida Senate seat.

Evers obtained 3,205 certified petition signatures in Escambia, Santa Rosa, Okaloosa, Bay, Washingon, Holmes and Walton counties. He needed one percent of the 290,926 registered voters in the district — 2,909 — to qualify by petition. The signatures have been verified by the Supervisors of Elections in the seven counties and certified to the Department of State Division of Elections.

“I am thrilled to have received the grassroots backing and support of citizens from all across the Northern Panhandle,” said Evers. “It means the world to me that my name will be on the ballot because the people I am seeking to represent – not the money of special interests – put me on that ballot.”

“We have walked door-to-door and visited with people at community events, churches, parades and gun shows in the process of getting these petitions,” he said.

Evers currently represents Florida House District 1, which includes parts of Escambia, Santa Rosa and Okaloosa counties. He is running for the District 2 Florida Senate seat currently held by Durell Peaden, Jr. who cannot run for re-election due to term limits.

Rep. Dave Murzin and Mike Hill are also running for the seat.
