Democrat Debra Tendrich is stacking organizational endorsements ahead of her Nov. 5 showdown for the seat representing House District 89.
Tendrich’s campaign announced 10 additional supporters of her campaign. They include the Palm Beach Post, Florida Education Association, Democratic Environmental Caucus, Run For Something, Women’s Issues Now Inc., Blu-PAC, Palm Beach County Human Rights Council, Democratic Hispanic Caucus and the Florida East chapter of Associated Builders and Contractors.
“I am incredibly proud to receive such a wide variety of endorsements across various industries and backgrounds,” she said in a statement. “This broad coalition demonstrates my ability to unite people for the greater good of District 89 and all of Florida.”
The new nods join others from Ruth’s List Florida and several elected officials, including U.S. Rep. Lois Frankel, state Sens. Tina Polsky and Vic Torres, and potential future House colleagues Anna Eskamani and Katherine Waldron.
Tendrich, who runs the Eat Better Live Better nonprofit, faces Republican private school administrator Daniel Zapata for the HD 89 seat, which Democratic state Rep. David Silvers is vacating due to term limits.
Zapata has announced endorsements from Hispanic Vote PBC, Mental Health Now, and a few local officials, including Palm Beach County Commissioners Michael Barnett, who was appointed by Gov. Ron DeSantis, and Sara Baxter.
The two are neck-and-neck in fundraising.
HD 89 covers a large inland portion of Palm Beach County stretching east from Greenacres to Lake Worth Beach, north from Atlantis to Cloud Lake and containing Lake Clarke Shores and Palm Springs.
The General Election is on Nov. 5.

It simply astounds me that this publication allows its liberal bias to blind it to Tendrich’s history of obvious fraud. Her ersatz charity exists only to pay herself a six figure salary. It provides no meaningful work or service. There are plenty of food pantries out there. Painting Tendrich herself as a health and fitness guru is also laughable. Just look at her! Enormous. And look at her history of using commercial addresses for her own voter registration! Until her mother bought her a house in this district that she moved to only to run for this seat, she has used business address to register to vote in communities where she did not live. She even ran for office, and lost, first using a fake address in Delray Beach and then using an office address.
