Another victory for our community occurred in Lake Worth, where,
without PBCHRCVA's endorsement, openly gay, first-time candidate Ryan
Maier was elected to the Lake Worth City Commission, where he joins
openly gay City Commissioner Andy Amoroso, who was elected in 2011.

Read Rand Hoch's message which is stunning for the simple fact that he and the PBCHRC did not endorse Ryan Maier.

Human Rights Council Endorses Gregg Weiss over Shanon Materio
Comment Up
The Palm Beach County Human Rights Council Voters Alliance has endorsed Gregg Weiss in his race for the West Palm Beach City Commission District 5 seat. The Voters Alliance is dedicated to electing candidates who will work to end discrimination based on sexual orientation, gender identity and gender expression.
"Since 1988, our organization has endorsed candidates who support our community's initiatives," said Rand Hoch, Chair of the Palm Beach County Human Rights Council Voters Alliance. "Having interviewed both candidates, we have determined Gregg Weiss is better informed about what our elected officials must do to address the unique concerns of the West Palm Beach gay and lesbian community."
From 2000 to 2012, the District 5 seat was held by Bill Moss, who died suddenly last year shortly after his re-election.
"Bill Moss was an eloquent and outspoken advocate for the rights of the city's minorities and women," said Hoch. "The Palm Beach County Human Rights Council Voters Alliance firmly believes Gregg Weiss is best qualified to pick up where Bill left off."
"I am honored to receive the endorsement of the Palm Beach County Human Rights Council Voters Alliance." said Weiss. "Commissioner Moss was a champion of LGBT issues and I hope to continue where he left off as City Commissioner. Throughout my years of public service I have supported LGBT causes and issues. It is important that every person who works for the City or comes before the City is treated fairly and equally and I am committed to that process."
The Palm Beach County Human Rights Council Voters Alliance, which is known throughout the county for its successful get-out-the vote drives, has also endorsed Allan Hendricks for Boynton Beach City Commission (Seat 3), J. P. Sasser for Pahokee Mayor and David Levy for Palm Beach Garden City Council (District 1). Additional municipal candidates seeking the Voters Alliance endorsement will be interviewed in within the next two weeks.
"Over the past 25 years, we have trained our supporters to become 'super-voters' -- citizens who vote in every federal, state and local election," said Hoch. "Palm Beach County Human Rights Council Voters Alliance supporters make up a large voting bloc which often makes a significant difference in low-turnout elections."
According to Hoch, the March 12 municipal election is expected to be a low turnout-election.
