Our Guest
This week is Pam Keith,
Pam Keith is the Democratic Nominee for Florida’s 18th Congressional District. She won the primary election this year with 80% of the vote (a CD 18 record), while generating an increase in turnout of more than 8,000 votes over the previous turnout record (during a pandemic). In 2016, Pam became the first African American woman to run a qualified campaign for U.S. Senate in Florida history, garnering almost 174,000 votes (more than 15% of the vote) on a shoestring budget of $175,000. In that race -- her first foray into politics -- Pam won fans all over Florida for her innovative ideas and inspirational public speaking style. Pam then ran for FL 18 in the 2018 cycle, and again electrified audiences all over the district. She built a loyal cadre of activist volunteers who continue to support her to this day. In 2018, she received 40% of the vote, while being substantially out-spent and unable to run television ads. She entered this year’s race for FL 18 in April, outraised her opponent in every reporting period, pulled together a strong campaign team, leveraged her human assets from 2018 and won the primary in a landslide.

Pam is the daughter of a U.S. Diplomat and former U.S. Ambassador. She was born in Turkey and lived in Morocco, Syria, Brazil and several U.S. cities before going to high school in Oakland, CA and attending U.C. Davis for her BA and MA degrees. She then attended Boston College Law School where she was Moot Court champion and made Law Review. She commissioned into the U.S. Navy as a JAG Officer in 1995 and served for four years, including a tour as Officer in Charge of the Legal Services Office in Bahrain. Ms. Keith later served as the first JAG assigned to the Navy Task Force on Computer Network Security. She speaks French, Spanish and Portuguese.

Pam has more than twenty years of legal experience, having worked at the prestigious law firms Morgan, Lewis & Bockius, Jones Day, and Ogletree Deakins.
