Watermark contacted more than 100 candidates who are vying for positions in the U.S. Congress or Florida Legislature ahead of this year’s Nov. 3 general election. If elected or re-elected, the victors will likely vote to enact either the Equality Act or Florida Competitive Workforce Act.
We asked Democrats, Republicans and more five questions focused on LGBTQ equality: one open-ended and four yes (Y) or no (N), to help voters make an informed decision. Each candidate’s responses, or lack thereof after multiple attempts, can be found below.
Former Vice President Joe Biden’s presidential campaign directly responded to 10 similar questions from Watermark earlier this year. In addition to reconfirming that as president he would restore federal protections for transgender students, rescind the transgender military ban and fight to pass the Equality Act, the campaign confirmed that Biden supports LGBTQ-inclusive public education and a nationwide ban on conversion therapy.

CANDIDATES FOR U.S. REPRESENTATIVE
1. Why should LGBTQ and ally voters support your candidacy?
Clinton Curtis, 6th Congressional District (D): NO RESPONSE.
Michael Waltz, 6th Congressional District (R): NO RESPONSE.
Stephanie Murphy, 7th Congressional District (D): I decided to run for Congress after the Pulse shooting, frustrated by inaction on gun violence and concerned by the hateful rhetoric from Donald Trump in 2016. Four months later, I defeated a 24-year Republican incumbent to become the first woman ever elected to represent Florida’s Seventh Congressional
District. Since coming to Congress in 2017, I successfully repealed the Dickey Amendment and secured millions for federal gun violence research for the first time in 25 years. I also helped introduce the Equality Act and an assault weapons ban, and I will continue working to pass commonsense gun safety laws and strengthening LGBTQ+ rights.
Leo Valentin, 7th Congressional District (R): NO RESPONSE.
Jim Kennedy, 8th Congressional District (D): I believe the United States stands together for the rights and freedom of all and stands to protect those that are fearful of being themselves. There are no conditions to liberty and justice for all. Freedom is not reserved for a select few. And rights are not subject to who you want to be, who you want to love and how you want to express yourself. As your congressional representative, I will fight to protect the rights of all Americans unconditionally. It is your right to serve our nation in the military, whoever you are. It is your right to be a protected class without judgement. It is your right to live and work wherever you like. It is your right to marry who you love. And it is your right to live as you are and not be therapeutically converted into someone you are not. I believe Congress must stand against any attacks on any American. When I am representing Florida’s 8th Congressional district in the Capitol, the country will know that the Space Coast stands strong for the rights of all our fellow Americans, and that we are always Better Together.
District Bill Posey, 8th Congressional (R): NO RESPONSE.
Darren Soto, 9th Congressional District (D): I have been a longtime advocate of equality for all Americans including our LGBTQ community. I have helped lead on various issues including equality in employment, housing, parental rights and marriage on the local, state and now national level.
Bill Olson, 9th Congressional District (R): NO RESPONSE.
Val Demings, 10th Congressional District (D): NO RESPONSE.
Vennia Francois, 10th Congressional District (R): NO RESPONSE.
Dana Cottrell, 11th Congressional District (D): Freedom and equality are the basis of our national government, and I have a personal vested interest in equality for all, especially the LGBTQ+ community. My sister is a member of the community and she has two daughters, my nieces. I am committed to ensuring that they are free from discrimination practices in all forms and that their individuality is protected under the law. I have been endorsed by the Florida LGTBQ+ Democratic Caucus in support of their platform, and I ask that you check the voting record of my opponent, Daniel Webster, on LGBTQ+ rights. Webster has a 0% voting record in support of LGBTQ+ rights, and the Human Rights Campaign ranks him at 0%.
Daniel Webster, 11th Congressional District (R): NO RESPONSE
Charlie Crist, 13th Congressional District (D): I strongly support, and actively fight in Congress, for the rights of the LGBTQ community. As a proud member of the Congressional LGBTQ Equality Caucus, I have cosponsored countless bills to fight discrimination and provide equal rights for all Americans, and I am proud that passing the Equality Act will be an urgent priority should Democrats hold the House of Representatives. When the Trump Administration announced plans to establish a Conscience and Religious Freedom Division at the Department of Health and Human Services, I immediately sent a letter to Secretary Azar urging him to provide specific clarification that the office would not be used to justify medical discrimination against women, members of the LGBT community, and persons living with HIV/AIDS – all of whom have faced well documented discrimination and abuse from medical providers in the past. Two of my can’t-miss community events each year are the St. Pete Pride parade and Equality Gala. If re-elected to Congress, I will continue working with our robust
LGBTQ community to keep moving equality forward.
Anna Paulina Luna, 13th Congressional District (R): NO RESPONSE.
Kathy Castor, 14th Congressional District (D): Since my service on the Hillsborough County Commission and throughout my service in Congress, I have stood up for equal rights for all, and against discrimination. I will continue to lead my colleagues towards achieving real and lasting change for Tampa Bay and communities across America. I believe that no one should be discriminated against – period – and especially based upon who they love. I will continue to fight in Congress for equal rights that all Americans deserve and the protections they need to help our nation and community grow. I have long championed equal rights and diversity in Tampa Bay. As a Hillsborough County Commissioner in 2005, I was the sole vote against a resolution to ban Gay Pride observations. While in Congress, I joined an amicus brief to support overturning the Defense of Marriage Act, which was struck down in 2013. Before the U.S. Supreme Court decision on Obergefell v. Hodges, a landmark case for marriage equality nationwide, I was honored and humbled to host a wedding for a Tampa same-sex couple in my Capitol Hill office in Washington, D.C., providing a haven to establish a lifelong bond. I am also a member of the LGBTQ Equality Caucus in Congress.
Christine Y. Quinn, 14th Congressional District (R): I believe in freedom of expression and choice. No one should be judged or discriminated based on their sexual orientation, gender, or race. I am a huge advocate for preserving individual liberties and freedoms, which is why I chose to run for Congress. As your elected Congresswoman, you can count on me to uphold the Constitution to protect your rights.
Alan Cohn, 15th Congressional District (D): LGBTQ rights are civil rights and I will do everything in my power as an elected official to help expand them, while aggressively fighting against any attempts to undo current protections. I will use my platform to speak out and my power as a legislator to craft policy that accomplishes these goals. As an investigative journalist, I’ve taken on the bigoted views of prominent individuals who supported abhorrent policies like conversion therapy, transgender bathroom bans. During the 80s and 90s I reported widely on the AIDS epidemic, elevating the stories of those affected by the disease and challenging the homophobia that went along with it. Throughout my career, I’ve used my reporting as a tool to expose lgbtq+ discrimination and in Congress I’ll fight every day for LGBTQ equality.
Scott Franklin, 15th Congressional District (R): NO RESPONSE.
Margaret Good, 16th Congressional District (D): Everyone should be treated equally under the law. In the Florida legislature, I co-sponsored legislation to end discrimination against LGBTQ people and to ban conversion therapy, and I will support the Equality Act in Congress. I have been endorsed by HRC, Equality Florida, the Florida LGBTQ Democratic Caucus, and received the 2019 Icon Award from SarasotaOUT.com.
Vern Buchanan, 16th Congressional District (R): NO RESPONSE.

CENTRAL FLORIDA STATE LEGISLATURE CANDIDATES
1. Why should LGBTQ and ally voters support your candidacy?
Heather Hunter, State Senator District 7 (D): I am a bisexual woman and when I win my election I will add to the diversity of our state legislature. However, representation without policy is
meaningless. Fellow LGBTQ people and allies should support my candidacy because I will fight for them. On top of my answers below, I will fight to
make sure all LGBTQ people and all people of Florida have healthcare, homes, a living wage, and a clean environment to live in.
Travis J. Hutson, State Senator District 7 (R): NO RESPONSE.
Patricia Sigman, State Senator District 9 (D): A labor and employment lawyer for over 25 years, I’ve fought to make sure working people are not mistreated or discriminated against for their gender identity or sexual orientation. My commitment to fighting for the LGBTQ+ community has earned me the support of Equality Florida, the largest LGBTQ+ rights organization in Florida.
Jason Brodeur, State Senator District 9 (R): NO RESPONSE.
Randolph Bracy, State Senator District 11 (D): NO RESPONSE.
Joshua Eli Adams, State Senator District 11 (R): NO RESPONSE.
Linda Stewart, State Senator District 13 (D): NO RESPONSE.
Josh Anderson, State Senator District 13 (R): The LGBTQ+ community needs leaders that are not afraid to stand up for what is right no matter what. I will work with allies across party lines to fight for guaranteed human rights. I will utilize a combination of legislative actions and lobbying business to achieve equal protection for the LGBTQ+
community.
Victor M. Torres Jr, State Senator District 15 (D): I consider myself an ally of the LGBTQ community and as such, I have either sponsored or co-sponsored legislation for the LGBTQ community e.g. I sponsored the bill to repeal DOMA in Florida and voted for several bills that would expand the rights of the LGBTQ community under Florida law. I believe my legislative record demonstrates consistent support for the LGBTQ community’s goals and objectives.
Louis T. Minnis Jr., State Senator District 15 (R): NO RESPONSE.
Mike James, State Senator District 15 (I): I believe you can’t be judging someone if you don’t even know who they are as a person. Everyone has a right to feel safe. I would just ask the
community to tell me how I can help you.
Adam Morley, State Representative District 24 (D): NO RESPONSE.
Paul Renner, State Representative District 24 (R): NO RESPONSE.
Sarah Zutter, State Representative District 25 (D): NO RESPONSE.

Patrick Henry, State Representative District 26 (D): NO RESPONSE.
Elizabeth Fetterhoff, State Representative District 26 (R): NO RESPONSE.
Dolores Guzman, State Representative District 27 (D): The LGBTQ community and its allies should support my candidacy because I am a fighter for all people. What you look like or who you love does not stop me for wanting the best for you and your family. I have fought for people in my community to have access to quality affordable healthcare no matter who they are. As a Puerto Rican woman I understand the pain of discrimination and think it should have no place in the future of our state or country.
Webster Barnaby, State Representative District 27 (R): NO RESPONSE.
Pasha Baker, State Representative District 28 (D): There are two important reasons to support my candidacy: the critical importance of protecting people’s lives in Florida — especially in times of change — and the fierceness with which I defend people’s access to opportunities and happiness. We need more sensible voices in the Capitol, not more dangerous abuse and division. I reject political and societal frameworks that place the blame for abuse on members of the LGBTQ community. I will be a reliable ally in the Florida House.
David Smith, State Representative District 28 (R): NO RESPONSE.
Michael A. Riccio, State Representative District 28 (NPA): I am not a judgmental person and do not place value on a person’s beliefs or their stance but rather on their abilities. I have 20 years of government service and always have valued a team member for their function rather than their relationships.
Tracey Kagan, State House District 29 (D): I’m fighting for equality for everyone, especially the rights for the LGBTQ+ community. I’m proud to be endorsed by the Rainbow Democrays and the LGBTQ Democratic Caucus because our work and activism, as well as the values of our campaign, speaks volumes. I want people to love and express themselves how they best see fit, and that includes LGBTQ rights in the workplace, housing and healthcare.
Scott Plakon, State Representative District 29 (R): NO RESPONSE.
Juan Rodriguez, State Representative District 30 (I): I believe LGBTQ Rights are human rights, hence I’m a supporter of treating everyone equally regardless their gender identification.
Joy Goff-Marcil, State Representative District 30 (D): NO RESPONSE.
Bob Cortes, State Representative District 30 (R): NO RESPONSE.
Crissy Stile, State Representative District 31 (D): I am an independent bookstore owner, and two years ago was elected to the City Council, in Mount Dora. I felt compelled to run for this seat because District 31 has been underrepresented in the past. Our elected officials don’t make themselves part of the community or reach out to see how they can help. I’ve made myself completely available to the residents of Mount Dora and I’ll do the same as a State Representative, fighting to improve quality of life. I have always been an advocate for our community and will continue to fight for LGBTQ rights and equality in Tallahassee. I am proud to be endorsed by the Rainbow Democrats. My partner and I have been together for 14+ years and we have 3 rescue pups.
Keith Truenow, State Representative District 31 (R): NO RESPONSE.

Brett T. Hage, State Representative District 33 (R): NO RESPONSE.
Geraldine F. Thompson, State Representative District 44 (D): Voters should support my candidacy for Florida House District 44 because I have a long history of fighting discrimination in America. I oppose discrimination based on sexual orientation and believe, just as was ruled in Loving vs. Virginia, that it is unconstitutional to bar marrying who you love. I have stood firm with the LGBTQ community and will continue to do so.
Bruno Portigliatti, State Representative District 44 (R): NO RESPONSE.
Anna V. Eskamani, State Representative District 47 (D): I consider myself to not just be an ally to the LGBTQ community – I am an accomplice to the LGTBQ community. That means that I am by your side through thick and thin, through victories and loss. My commitment to inclusivity is unmatched, and I have been fighting or equality alongside LGBTQ friends and coalition partners for more than 10 years.
Jeremy Sisson, State Representative District 47 (R): NO RESPONSE.
Daisy Morales, State Representative District 48 (D): I am an advocate for the LGBTQ community, I believe everyone should be treated with dignity and respect no matter their ethnicity, their religious belief or who they choose to love. I am open to listen to the issues and concerns to learn more about the laws and how they affect your community.
Jesus Martinez, State Representative District 48 (R): NO RESPONSE.
Carlos Guillermo Smith, State Representative District 49 (D): As an openly LGBTQ person, I understand why LGBTQ representation matters. That’s why I have been a vocal champion in fighting for fair and equal treatment of all individuals under the law, including LGBTQ Floridians. I also understand that Florida’s LGBTQ community cannot enjoy full equality while people are still struggling under hateful forces of systemic racism, white supremacy and HIV stigma and that it is our responsibility to act against those forces. In 2020, I also led an effort with parents, trans youth, medical professionals and advocates to successfully defeat legislation that would have criminalized doctors with up to 15 years in prison for providing life-saving healthcare for transgender youth.
Robert Prater, State Representative District 49 (R): NO RESPONSE.
Nina Yoakum, State Representative District 50 (D): NO RESPONSE.

I was around 8 years of age and saw the ridicule, abuse and ostracizing that he had endured growing up in S. Florida in the 1980’s. I recognized early in my childhood how wrong it is to treat someone so evilly because of who they love.
Randy Fine, State Representative District 53 (R): NO RESPONSE.

TAMPA BAY STATE LEGISLATURE CANDIDATES
1. Why should LGBTQ and ally voters support your candidacy?
Darryl Ervin Rouson, State Senator District 19 (D): NO RESPONSE.
Christina Paylan, State Senator District 19 (NPA): Because there is no other candidate who will 100% back LGBTQ rights. Not because it is politically correct, because I fundamentally believe that all persons no matter how they choose to express themselves must be treated equal under the law. Otherwise, we are all nothing.
Danny Burgess, State Senator District 20 (R): NO RESPONSE.
Kathy Lewis, State Senator District 20 (D): Kathy Lewis, Democratic Candidate for Florida Senate District 20, believes in equal rights for all citizens, including members of the LGBTQ+
community. She will fight to expand anti-discrimination protections and to guarantee all LGBTQ+ people have fair and equal access to employment, housing, health care and education. Lewis says, “We will not wait. We will not be silent. We will not tolerate hate. We will not tolerate the intolerable. LGBTQ+ rights are human rights and we will fight for them together.”
Kathy Lewis, State Senator District 21 (R): NO RESPONSE.
Anthony “Tony” Eldon, State Senator District 21 (D): LGBTQ and ally voters should support the campaign as I myself am one of their allies. I myself have a lesbian sister and bisexual mother. My ties to the LGBTQ community don’t just reside in familial bonds, I have friends who are also in the community, as well as even my teaching mentor who was half of the first lesbian couple to be married in Sarasota County. I’ve marched with LGBTQ members, protected them and accepted them whenever they have entered my classroom and sphere of influence.
Mike Beltran, State Representative District 57 (R): NO RESPONSE.
Scott “Mr. H” Hottenstein, State Representative District 57 (D): I ask that LGBTQ and ally voters support my candidacy so that they have another representative in Tallahassee with a proven track record as an ally. I am endorsed by both the state LGBTQ+ Caucus and our local Hillsborough County LGBTA Caucus, of which I am a member. As a middle school
teacher, I have been a faculty advisor and started GSA Clubs at two schools, which has given dozens of students a safe, supportive place to socialize and advocate for the LGBTQ community. I have participated with students in Pride marches and events like GLSEN’s Day of Silence. My campaign team is diverse with volunteers from each aspect of the LGBTQ community. As a second-in-command of a naval base, I led the transition out of the discriminatory “Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell” policy in the Department of Defense. I believe that we cannot achieve the full potential of “We the People” without destroying discrimination against any community, including the LGBTQ+ community. Thank you for your support!
Lawrence McClure, State Representative District 58 (R): NO RESPONSE.
Cleo L. “CL” Townsend Jr, State Representative District 58 (D): I am proud of my gay son and have been a longtime supporter of PFLAG.
Michael Owen, State Representative District 59 (R): NO RESPONSE.
Andrew Learned, State Representative District 59 (D): I believe that people should be treated fairly. It shouldn’t be hard. Our differences and diversity make our communities stronger. As a legislator, I will always fight for equality and inclusion in our state’s laws and policies. I am proud to stand with the LGBTQ+ community now and in the fights that lie ahead.
Jackie Toledo, State Representative District 60 (R): NO RESPONSE.
Julie Jenkins, State Representative District 60 (D): I’ve been an ally for over 30 years. I’ve defended LGBTQ rights, raised money for the caucus and marched along side of the community. I’ve been doing it all my life, not just during election season. In Tallahassee, I’ll keep my word and fight for the community.
Angel S. Urbina Capo, State Representative District 62 (R): NO RESPONSE.
Susan L. Valdés, State Representative District 62 (D): NO RESPONSE.
Traci Koster, State Representative District 64 (R): NO RESPONSE.
Jessica Harrington, State Representative District 64 (D): I have been an ally to the LGBTQ community and am working hard to ensure true equality in the state of Florida. As an endorsed candidate of Equality Florida, I will make sure to support legislation that protects our LGBTQ community. For far too long, Florida has been on the wrong side of history in its efforts to hurt the LGBTQ comuunity by not supporting common sense legislation such as the Competitive Workforce Act and Marriage Equality being added to the Florida Constitution. When I am elected, I will continue to be an ally in Tallahassee.
Chris Sprowls, State Representative District 65 (R): NO RESPONSE.
Kelly Johnson, State Representative District 65 (D): I am all about equality. I know what it is to feel ostracized. I believe that all people are created equal and are entitled to love and respect regardless of sexual preference, gender, sex, and/or race. My local campaign manager who is also my partner in unemployment advocacy came alongside my campaign and he and I are both avid LGBTQI+ advocates. He has helped me to construct plans to reinforce protections for the LGBTQI+ community and to assure their rights with legislature and litigation.
Nick Dicegile, State Representative District 66 (R): NO RESPONSE.
Patricia M. Plantamura, State Representative District 66 (D): I have completed surveys for several LGTBQ organizations and I am endorsed by among others, the Stonewall Democrats of Pinellas County. My campaign funds are very low compared to my Republican opponent, and also compared to other Democrats who are funded in increments of 10 more times dollars than my campaign, as I am running in a Republican majority area. I share this because I will likely not be filling out any more questionnaires. My time is being spent to get people to vote for me and for a different president.
Chris Latvala, State Representative District 67 (R): NO RESPONSE.
Dawn Douglas, State Representative District 67 (D): NO RESPONSE.
Matt Tito, State House District 68 (R): NO RESPONSE.
Ben Diamond, State House District 68 (D): Before becoming a member of the Florida House and before marriage equality was the law of the land, I was working on these issues as a lawyer,
and very interested in how we could make changes to Florida law to fully protected the rights of same-sex couples. Since becoming a member of the Florida Legislature, I have sponsored and fought for the passage of the Competitive Workforce Act and fought against laws and practices that are harmful to the LGBTQIA+ community including, but not limited to, the ability for state-funded charter schools to discriminate against LGBTQIA+ students. I am proud of the work I did in my first term in carrying the Florida Competitive Workforce Act as the bill’s lead sponsor. I worked the bill every day and in particular sought to build bipartisan support for the bill. In my mind, the support of the bill should not turn on party lines, and I was able to make significant progress in the number of co-sponsors.
Linda Chaney, State House District 69 (R): NO RESPONSE.
Jennifer N. Webb, State House District 69 (D): Since becoming a member of the Florida Legislature, I have sponsored and fought for the passage of the Competitive Workforce Act and fought against laws and practices that are harmful to the LGBTQIA+ community including, but not limited to, the ability for state-funded charter schools to discriminate against LGBTQIA+ students.
