Jim Davis Signs End AIDS Now Pledge

Friday night Congressman Jim Davis demonstrated leadership to the nation and the 125,000+ Floridians living with HIV/AIDS when he signed the END AIDS NOW PLEDGE.

For the past several months exhaustive efforts to have been made to have any gubernatorial candidate provide an official response to Florida having the third-most cases of HIV/AIDS in the nation. South Florida accounts for 3 of the 4 counties having the highest HIV infection rate in the nation per capita.

At a rally for Jim Davis at the Florida GLBT Democratic PAC Democratic Vote Center, Gubernatorial Candidate Jim Davis committed to "work to develop and implement a plan to end AIDS including universal access to education, awareness, prevention, treatment, care and support.

Congresswoman Debbie Wasserman-Schultz also joined Jim Davis in taking a stand to demand leadership and signed the END AIDS NOW PLEDGE! She kept asking , "tell me what I can do to help and I will!"
