Left up to mainstream media, one would think that there is only one declared Democrat in the race for Marco Rubio’s U.S. Senate seat. In fact, it has been reported as such. There are some who want Floridians to think that Patrick Murphy is the only candidate that is in the race.
That is not the case.
Pam Keith is a delightful breath of fresh air in the staleness that is the Florida Democratic Party.

She is an African-American woman who isn’t afraid to step out on faith, and belief, in herself.
It is time for Democrats in Florida to do the same.
The thought by the Florida Democratic Party that only a White male has a chance to win outside of predominantly African-American and Latino communities is actually disgusting, not to mention against what Democrats are supposed to represent.
Have we forgotten about equality and equal opportunity for all?
Pam Keith, the daughter of Kenton Keith, a U.S. Diplomat, has excellent credentials.
After graduating from Boston College with her Juris Doctorate, Pam decided to serve her country, our country, in the U.S. Navy, as a Judge Advocate (Chief Lawyer).
Pam volunteered to go to the Persian Gulf, specifically Bahrain, to serve as the Officer In Charge of the Legal Services office, where she received commendation.
Upon separating from the U.S. Navy, Pam became a labor attorney for a Washington D.C. Firm, Morgan, Lewis, & Bockius.
The fact that this woman is a decorated veteran, an accomplished attorney for labor, and is also on the Board of Directors for a non-profit organization that helps homeless and at-risk veterans, to me, outweighs the fact that she doesn’t come from, nor has access to, a vast amount of Republican money.
To put it quite simply, she is one of us.
