Pasco County, FL — Ruth’s List Florida has endorsed Stephanie Vazquez in her campaign for Pasco County Commission, citing her commitment to putting Pasco residents first, prioritizing community needs over party politics or corporate interests, and strengthening transparency and accountability in local government.

Ruth’s List Florida is a statewide organization dedicated to recruiting, training, and supporting women candidates who are prepared to lead and committed to advancing opportunity, safety, and dignity in their communities.

“I am honored to earn the support of Ruth’s List Florida,” said Stephanie Vazquez. “Their mission to uplift women and protect vulnerable communities aligns closely with my own work and values. I believe local governments must put people first, listen to residents, and make decisions that reflect the real needs of our communities.”

Vazquez’s campaign has continued to gain grassroots momentum across Pasco County, powered by volunteers, small-dollar donors, and residents from across the political spectrum who are calling for a more thoughtful, people-first approach to county leadership. Her campaign is grounded in the vision of a Pasco for the People, with a focus on responsible growth, resilient infrastructure, strong public schools, disaster preparedness, and transparent local governance.

The endorsement from Ruth’s List Florida adds to a growing coalition of community members and organizations supporting Vazquez’s grassroots campaign for Pasco County Commission.
