Satellite Beach, FL – Joanne Terry of Satellite Beach, a centrist Democrat, announced her candidacy for U.S. House of Representatives FL-08 on Thursday. Terry is a retired space industry systems engineer and Brevard resident since 2004.

“I will spend the next 10 months traveling throughout our district discussing our local issues and sharing my thoughts on how we can focus on our common goals. When we remember that we’re all working for the good of the community, we can address our differences with the respect and civility of a functioning democracy.” Terry concluded.
