Tampa Tiger Bay to hear from young Democratic and Republican leaders this month

With critical midterm elections fast approaching, Tampa Tiger Bay Club is turning its attention to the future of politics with an upcoming forum featuring young Tampa Bay politicos.

Brittany Lakhani, Young Tampa Bay Republicans president, and Michael Womack, Hillsborough County Young Democrats president, will offer their perspectives on what’s motivating youth voters this election.

Tickets for Tampa Tiger Bay's Future of Politics forum on Oct. 21 at 12 p.m. in the Cuban Club Ballroom located at 2010 N Avenida Republica de Cuba in Ybor City are on sale now and start at $25. Admission includes lunch.
Lakhani and Womack will answer questions and discuss some of the hotly contested issues at play during this election through the lens of young folks. Only members of the nonpartisan Tiger Bay Club can submit questions for the speakers.

Lakhani, president of Young Tampa Bay Republicans since January, is a student at Stetson University College of Law. She has expressed support for Gov. Ron DeSantis and his policies focused on the rights of small business and refusing coronavirus mandates. Lakhani serves as staff for Florida Attorney General Ashley Moody, up for re-election next month.

Womack, Hillsborough County Young Democrats president and nonpartisan Mercury Public Affairs director, comes from Equality Florida, where he contributed to legislative fights against the Transgender Youth Sports ban and “Don’t Say Gay” bills. His focus lies in advancing LGBTQ+ issues with experience in campaign work on the state and national level.
