Bro. Adner Marcelin, candidate for Tallahassee City Commission Seat 5, recently announced several endorsements during a campaign kickoff event outside City Hall on March 30th.

Bro. Marcelin, a Fall ’15 initiate of the Gamma Mu Lambda Chapter,  also received endorsements from Ben Crump, his former employee, and Bro. Daryl Parks, Crump’s former law partner. In addition, both attorneys have contributed $1,000 in campaign donations, and Crump’s law office donated $235.

“Marcelin has what it takes to be a good Commissioner because he is smart, hardworking, and compassionate. Adner clearly sees our community’s problems and hears our voices…” Lightsey said during the campaign event.

Inman-Johnson, Tallahassee’s first Black woman Mayor, is Adner’s campaign manager.

In a statement to Florida Politics, Inman-Johnson explained that in 2018 she volunteered for Williams-Cox’s campaign, but this time around, she is endorsing Marcelin’s run.

“He had already demonstrated to me how much he cares about people, particularly people and neighborhoods that need a champion most, through his work as President of the NAACP,” she said. “Adner Marcelin will be the change agent this community so desperately needs.”
