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.
