POWERVOTE Candidate Guide Links

Here’s some helpful information to find out who represents you and what your voting options are for this coming mid-term election on November 2nd. Please share with anyone else who may be interested.

Here is a list of all of the candidates and they’re current standing and results from the primary election.
http://election.dos.state.fl.us/candidate/canlist.asp

Here is a link to the representatives for FIU- MMC Campus:
http://www.myfloridahouse.gov/Sections/Representatives/districtdetails.aspx?MemberId=4342&SessionId=64&SenateMemberID=4324&CongressionalDistrictID=21&LAT=25.760922&LONG=-80.376463

If you look at his detailed district map, the most north-east corner of FIU is in it:
http://www.flsenate.gov/cgi-bin/View_Page.pl?Tab=legislators&Submenu=1&File=index.html&Directory=Legislators/senate/040/map_data/
(So I guess Rudy Garia represents a small piece of our University campus.)

You can search with you address and find out all the representatives for you house here:
http://www.myfloridahouse.gov/default.aspx

or for a map view:

Then, just look at the first link to see who is running for that office.
I will update with more exact information later.

Please don’t forget to POWERVOTE!
Find me anywhere on campus to sign a pledge and register to vote in Miami-Dade county if you aren’t already.

I hope this is helpful,

Jessica Okaty
