BUPAC (Business people United for Political Action Committee) Endorsements

BUPAC, a group that meets weekly to hear a candidate speak and answer unfiltered questions from the audience for an hour, issued its endorsements for the November election.

Candidates had to win a two-thirds majority to get the nod.

*Sheriff Mike Scott won endorsement over NPA opponent James Didio.

*Jeanne Dozier was endorsed for Lee school board district 2 over Melisa Giovannelli.

*Jane Kuckel won endorsement over Don Armstrong for School board district 6.

*Cathleen Morgan won endorsement over Chris Quackenbush for school board district 7.

*Commissioner Larry Kiker was endorsed over a write-in opponent.

Races for the Supervisor of Elections and for Lee Commission District 5 failed to produce the two-thirds margin for victory.
