ORLANDO, Fla. (May 29, 2020) – International R&B and Dance artist Lillie Nicole McCloud is using her star power to rally her millions of followers to support and vote for Daisy Morales for State Representative of Florida House District 48. The outspoken singer, who resides in Orlando, has endorsed Supervisor Morales, highlighting her passion for advocacy and leadership in her role as Orange County Soil & Water Conservation District Supervisor.
McCloud posted a portion of her endorsement on Facebook in response to Supervisor Morales’s announcement of her candidacy. “You are an amazing woman. We certainly need you on top,” she expressed. “We need strong, resourceful, brilliant, hard-working, fair-minded women parked in powerful places who care about the people.”
The international dance singer was also a contestant on FOX’s X Factor during its third season, wowing the world with her vocal performances, garnering over 47 million YouTube views. She’s performed alongside other superstars such as dance legend Donna Allen, three-time GRAMMY nominee Angie Stone, and veteran Hollywood starlet Robin Givens.
“You have my utmost respect for every achievement you have accomplished and for your passion and love for all people, remaining fearless and attacking without hesitation any task that is set before you, getting the jobs done,” she shared in her post.
McCloud, who is currently overseas in Slovakia, lives in District 48, near Orlando International Airport. She has encouraged her followers to volunteer, vote, or donate to Supervisor Morales’s campaign.
“I’m excited to receive Lillie’s endorsement,” said Supervisor Morales. “It’s an honor to have someone of her stature support my campaign.”
This isn’t the first time the famed music artist has supported Morales for public office. Then Orange County Sheriff Jerry Demings and U.S. Congressman Alan Grayson played an important role in her swearing in ceremony in 2014. “She [McCloud] performed at the event, Demings led the Pledge Allegiance and Congressman Grayson administered the Oath of Office,” said Supervisor Morales.
“I’m honored to have McCloud all in for Team Daisy. I look forward to having her play an active role in my campaign to win the Democratic State Representative nomination in the primary election on August 18.”
