Daniella Levine Cava Earns Key Backing from save Action PAC

The Daniella Levine Cava campaign announced an endorsement from SAVE Action PAC, South Florida’s leading political advocacy organization founded to promote, protect and defend equality for the LGBT community. This endorsement adds to overwhelming support for Daniella from the LGBTQ community, following endorsements from Equality Florida, the Miami-Dade LGBTA Democratic Caucus, and the Florida LGBTA Democratic Caucus.

Orlando Gonzales, SAVE Action PAC Director shared, “Commissioner Levine Cava’s victory in 2014 paved the way to expand the Miami Dade County Human Rights Ordinance to include gender identity and she has remained a tireless advocate. On the Commission she has remained dedicated to addressing the needs of the most vulnerable to ensure all our residents enjoy equality and justice. SAVE is thrilled to support a visionary and inclusive leader like Daniella Levine Cava – and we are confident she will work her heart out as Mayor.”

Commissioner Daniella Levine Cava shared, “This endorsement is deeply personal and means the world to me. SAVE inspired me to get into elected office in the first place – to protect the rights of all our residents and to ensure the people of this community are able to love who they love, free from judgement. SAVE’s record of fighting the good fight, and its commitment to bringing equal rights to our County, makes me proud to stand together. It’s a privilege and honor to have SAVE’s support, once again, as we continue the work toward making Miami-Dade a more inclusive home for all.”
