LSCU Announces Endorsements for Congressional Candidates

Tallahassee, Fla. – The Credit Union Association, a division of the League of Southeastern Credit Unions and Affiliates (LSCU), is proud to announce the list of federal candidates LSCU will be supporting for the 2020 election cycle.

“Through our meetings with the candidates and by their reputations, we know this diverse list of candidates support the credit union mission. As always, we’ve done a lot of research into the incumbents, candidates and their respective platforms and if applicable, their past voting records,” explains LSCU President Jared Ross. “We have all learned a lot from the COVID-19 pandemic. One of the lessons is how important our federal lawmakers are. Before presenting these endorsements for approval by the LSCU Board of Directors, our research was meticulous. LSCU and the board supports these men and women from both parties.”

The list of endorsements is as follows:

Jerry Carl (R) 's 1st Congressional District Jeff Coleman (R) Alabama's 2nd Congressional District Rep. Mike Rogers (R) Alabama's 3rd Congressional District Rep. (R) Alabama's 6th Congressional District Rep. (D) Florida's 5th Congressional District Rep. (R) Florida's 8th Congressional District Rep. (D) Florida's 9th Congressional District Rep. (D) Florida's 10th Congressional District Rep. (R) Florida's 15th Congressional District Dane Eagle (R) Florida's 19th Congressional District Rep. Drew Ferguson (R) 's 3rd Congressional District Rep. (R) Georgia's 11th Congressional District Rep. David Scott (D) Georgia's 13th Congressional District

“Our endorsement means LSCU will support these candidates financially and through grassroots efforts. We will make sure to set up opportunities for credit unions and their members have an opportunity to speak with the candidates to make their own decisions as voters,” explains President Ross. “The credit union mission of ‘people helping people’ continues to be crucial. We believe these candidates have the philosophy.”
