However, thanks to information ascertained through the local organization Soca-De-Vote Tanya Ragbeer two additional Caribbean Americans are also campaigning for seats in the primary elections, bringing the overall total of Caribbean Americans seeking representational office in South Florida to 49, with 35 now involved in the primary elections.
