MIAMI– GOP Councilwoman and third term President of the Log Cabin Republican, Mimi Planas was appointed by Governor Rick Scott as a new member of the Florida Commission on the Status of Women.  The Florida Governor called the lesbian leader personally regarding her appointment

Ms. Planas, a Hispanic woman, has distinguished herself as a premiere grassroots organizer, particularly in her role as a prolific conservative lesbian spokesperson for Rick Scott’s and Attorney General Pam Bondi’s  2014 reelection.  Her successful advocacy for Scott, Bondi, same-sex marriage and gun rights for women appeared routinely in the South Florida Gay News, the Miami Herald, and in the Pink News of London — Europe’s largest GLBT newspaper.  She also wrote a column for the Gay Orlando Watermark and appeared several times in Florida Equality’s and Florida Competes’ on-line publication .

Planas was also selected for the 2014 Miami GOP Club President of the Year Award.

She serves on the Hispanic Advisory Council to the Brinker Education Initiative, a project of the Harry S. and Mary Ellen Brinker, Jr. Foundation devoted to immersing Hispanic/Latino students in science, technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM) through college scholarships.  Planas is certain to be a voice in Tallahassee for increased funding for STEM education targeting Hispanics and women, as well as LGBT inclusion.

Recently, the Planas appeared on CNN, Anderson Cooper, Bloomberg’s Miami After Dark, and the West Palm Beach Get Out LGBT Show.
