TAMPA -- BlakPac, a leading conservative political organization, disrupted the political establishment of Florida by endorsing Jackie Toledo, who in turn defeated Rebecca Smith in the Republican Primary of Florida State House District 60 on August 30, 51% to 49%. Jackie Toledo is Spanish.
Jackie Toledo was outspent 2 to 1, but social media and an effective ground game secured the victory. Rebecca Smith secured establishment endorsem ents from:
Florida’s
CFO Jeff Atwater, Florida’s Agriculture Commissioner Adam Putnam, Mayor
Dick Greco, General David M. “Tanker” Snyder, former U.S. Ambassador

BlakPac
has a core mission of electing conservative minorities. BlakPac has the
most effective methods of engaging minority voters in America and we
endorsed Jackie Toledo to show even against overwhelming odds, the right
candidate with the right strategy and a plan can win. Jackie Toledo now
faces Democrat David Singer in the General Election on November 8, 2016
