Wasserman Schultz, Israel And Geller Each Had Enough Signatures To Run For Office

U. S. Rep. Debbie Wasserman Schultz  gathered enough signatures to qualify for office this week. So did Broward County Sheriff Scott Israel.  And South Broward County Commission candidate Steve Geller, a former state Senator. 

Wasserman Schultz handed in 2,453 verified signatures to state officials and received a place on the August Democratic primary ballot.

Geller presented 1,399 verified signatures to the Supervisor of Elections office.

Israel was required to submit 10,675 certified petitions, a larger number than the other two because he runs in the entire county.

Candidates must gather the signature of 1 percent of the registered voters in the geographic area they are seeking to represent.
