The Reform Party received notice Friday that the Florida Division of Elections has recertified its party status giving Independent Presidential Candidate Robert F. Kennedy Jr. ballot access in the Sunshine State.
“We’re thrilled to give Floridians an independent option this November,” said Reform Party of Florida Chair Jenniffer Desatoff. “We’ve been eagerly waiting to collaborate with the Kennedy Campaign here in Florida and make history together.”
Two weeks ago, the National Committee of the Reform Party voted to nominate Kennedy, granting him ballot access in Florida and providing major fundraising advantages.

Currently, individuals can donate a maximum of $6,600 to the campaign. With the Reform Party nomination, the party will be able to raise an additional $41,300 from individual donors and spend it in coordination with the campaign to support Kennedy. The party contribution limit is more than six times the campaign contribution limit, supercharging Kennedy’s fundraising.
The Reform Party was founded in 1996 by supporters of Ross Perot, the most successful independent candidate in the last century before Kennedy’s run.
The party’s rules call for it to nominate a presidential candidate, who then picks their vice-presidential candidate. Kennedy accepted the Reform Party nomination and chose Nicole Shanahan as his running mate.
