Founders of The Collective PAC, Quentin James and Stefanie Brown James, released the following statement:
“The Collective PAC proudly congratulates Congresswoman Val Demings on her historic primary victory in Florida. It’s important now more than ever for us to elect leaders who are committed to criminal justice reform, safeguard voting rights, and ensure government officials are held accountable for unethical behavior.
