Stuart, Fla. Republican Candidate Rebecca Negron today announced that she is the first

I am encouraged and honored that I am now qualified to appear on the ballot to represent
Congressional District 18 for the upcoming Republican Primary on August 30, said Negron.
Reaching this milestone by petition is further proof that Congressional District 18 voters are not
only hearing our conservative message, but hearing a message they embrace for the future of
their community and nation.

for the ballot on August 30, said Negron. My team and I have enjoyed meeting and speaking
with the people of this community.
