On February 25th, 2026, Broward County will host a powerful and timely event—the CD-20 Candidate Debate featuring Rod Joseph and Sendra Dorce’. This is more than a debate. It is a moment for civic engagement, informed decision-making, and the strengthening of representative government.
In an era where headlines move fast and narratives often replace nuance, debates provide something essential: direct dialogue. They allow voters to hear candidates articulate their positions, defend their ideas, and respond to real issues affecting their communities.
Why Political Involvement Matters
Political engagement is not reserved for elected officials or party insiders. It belongs to We the People.
Representation Begins With ParticipationElected officials represent those who show up—at the ballot box, at town halls, and at debates. When citizens disengage, decisions are made without their input.
Informed Voters Strengthen DemocracyA debate gives voters the opportunity to compare leadership styles, policy priorities, and preparedness. It moves the conversation beyond slogans into substance.
Local Races Shape National ImpactCongressional District 20 will influence legislation on taxes, small business development, healthcare, border policy, education funding, and economic growth. What happens locally affects the national stage.
Civic Engagement Builds CommunityWhen neighbors gather for political discourse, they reinforce the idea that disagreement does not equal division. Civil debate is the foundation of a Constitutional Republic.
The Role of Leadership and Community Sponsors
Events like this do not happen by accident. They are organized by leaders committed to transparency and engagement, including Chair/Director Celeste Ellich and Chairman Bob Sutton, and sponsored by organizations dedicated to strategic dialogue and civic education.
These forums are part of a larger mission:To ensure voters are not passive observers—but active participants in shaping the future.
Why You Should Attend
Hear directly from the candidates.
Ask questions.
Evaluate policy proposals firsthand.
Encourage respectful civic discourse.
Model engagement for the next generation.
Political apathy creates a vacuum. Leadership rises when citizens are present.
Whether you agree with one candidate or the other—or are still deciding—the responsibility is the same: Stay informed. Stay engaged. Show up.
The strength of Broward County—and our nation—depends on it.
Be Involved. Be Informed. Be Heard.
