Endorsements from
Voluntary Bar Leaders
Thank you to the many colleagues, leaders, and friends across Florida who have endorsed my campaign for Florida Bar President. Your support means more than words can express. Endorsements are a powerful reflection of shared values and trust—they signal to our fellow members that this campaign is grounded in integrity, experience, and a collective vision for the future of our profession. I’m honored to stand with each of you as we work to strengthen the Bar and serve the legal community with purpose. -Paige
