Ruth’s List Florida, the state’s only organization dedicated to electing Democratic pro-choice women in Florida, on Tuesday, congratulated Joyce Morgan on her historic election as the Duval County Property Appraiser.
“We are so thrilled to see Joyce make history as the first African American and first woman elected Property Appraiser in Duval County,” said Christina Diamond, Interim CEO of Ruth’s List Florida.
“Joyce is a Ruth’s List alumna, and it’s so exciting to see our candidates rise through the ranks of elected office in Florida. Her victory is a strong testimony to the importance of local elections and the importance of investing in down-ballot races to build the bench of Democratic women leaders throughout the state.”
Morgan is a long-time resident of Jacksonville and Ruth’s List alumna, who is currently serving her eighth year as the District 1 Representative on the Jacksonville City Council.
She has served on every standing committee on the council with distinction over her past two terms.
