Ryan Morales[[link removed]] is running for the Florida State House in District 32. For Morales public service is not about party loyalty or political ideology, he will work across the aisle for common sense and fact-based solutions that benefit his community and the people of Florida. His policy priorities include investing in quality public education for all students, protecting Florida’s environment and natural resources for future generations, legalizing and regulating cannabis, creating a Florida state-supported senior care system, ensuring fair wages, strengthening sentencing policies against individuals who commit hate crimes, ensuring full transparency on government spending, protecting our unions, expanding equality laws, protecting reproductive rights and passing the ERA. Morales is an atheist.
 
Vincent Lyon[[link removed]] is running for the Flagler County (FL) School Board in District 1 in an August 18 election. Mr. Lyon has been involved in numerous local civic organizations, including the Palm Coast City Council, and was president of the Flagler Bar Association and is President-elect of his local Rotary Club. With a deep knowledge of the issues facing Flagler County schools, Lyon believes that “a strong school system is the heart of a strong community.” Once elected, Lyon will fight the political, religious, and anti-science agendas of the previous school board and keep education apolitical and secular. He plans to employ evidence-based policies to improve remote and classroom learning and to ensure all students are given equal chances to succeed. Lyon is a humanist.
 
Cory Hutchinson[[link removed]] is running for the Sarasota County Commission in District 3. A lifelong resident of Sarasota County, Hutchinson plans to build a stronger, more vibrant, and more progressive community. He is an advocate of government “of, by, and for the people,” and plans to run a community-funded campaign without special interests. Hutchinson hopes to move Sarasota County towards a renewable energy model, invest in better and smarter infrastructure, improve access to affordable and equitable housing, and protect precious Gulf Coast waters. Hutchinson also seeks to limit big-money donors in local elections and repair the relationships between Sarasota County’s cities and its county government. Hutchinson is a humanist and agnostic.
