Former state Senator Annette Tadeo earned the endorsement of youth-led climate action organization genCLEO Wednesday.
The organization aims to turn climate change into a top issue for voters, according to its website.
“Young Floridians understand that the decisions made in Florida today will shape whether we can afford to build a future here,” Raymer Maguire, VP of Campaigns at genCLEO, said in a press release. “genCLEO Action is proud to endorse Annette Taddeo as a climate champion because we know she will stand up to state's largest polluters while advocating for more clean energy and the protection of our natural resources."
This comes just a few days after the Orlando-Sentinel endorsed Taddeo.

“I’m proud to have genCLEO Action’s endorsement because protecting Florida’s future means listening to the young people who will inherit it,” Taddeo said in the press release. “As a mother, I want my daughter and every young Floridian to grow up in a state where they can build a future without having to choose between a healthy environment and an affordable life. As Florida continues to attract energy-intensive industries, including AI and data centers, we need to make sure growth does not come at the expense of our water, energy resources, or communities. In the CFO’s office, I’ll bring a commitment to accountability and responsible financial decisions that protect Florida’s communities, natural resources, and future generations.”
This endorsement joins a long list of notable endorsements including Miami-Dade County Mayor Daniella Levine Cava and former Florida CFO Alex Sink.
Taddeo will face off against incumbent Republican Blaise Ingoglia in the November midterm election.
Recent polls show the candidates neck-and-neck in the polls, with a significant portion of the electorate still undecided.
