Lourdes Casanova won the race for Palm Beach County judge, even after an endorsement from an LGBTQ group caused a Christian organization to rescind its support in August.

Casanova won over her opponent, attorney Jean Middleton, with 56.33% of the vote, or 340,150 tallies.

“I am incredibly honored and humbled to see the overwhelming support received from across our community,” Casanova said in a statement to OutSFL.

She won the August primary with 37.9% of the vote. However, a candidate needs more than 50% support in a county judge race since it's a non-partisan race.

Therefore, a runoff election was held Tuesday, and Casanova still pulled a majority of voters.

Casanova accepted an endorsement from the Palm Beach County Human Rights Council (PBCHRC), which is an LGBTQ civil rights group, before the primary.

The Christian Family Coalition founder Anthony Verdugo told the Sun Sentinel in August that “candidates who seek the endorsement of LGBTQ activist organizations that work to undermine family values, parental rights and children’s safety do not receive CFC Florida’s highly qualified rating.”

Casanova did not reject PBCHRC’s endorsement after pressure from the Christian org.; a move that PBCHRC president Rand Hoch said proved she was worthy of the position.

“This demonstrates that Casanova has the potential to be a great jurist,” Hoch said. “She impressed diverse groups to support her based on her background and qualifications. And when faced with a dilemma put forward by a group of her supporters, she rose to the occasion and judiciously decided not to succumb to a threat and did the right thing.”

Casanova herself emphasized her intentions of being a voice of reason for the community.

“I am committed to upholding the principles of justice, fairness and integrity in our courts. I look forward to the important work ahead in the ‘people's court’ and sincerely appreciate the trust you have placed in me.”
