Susan Bucher

Susan Marie Bucher (born October 27, 1958) served as the Supervisor of Elections in Palm Beach County, Florida.

When State Representative Ed Healey died in 2000 from a brain hemorrhage, Bucher ran in the special election to succeed him.

Heeney achieved a level of notoriety during the campaign after he was arrested just a few months before the election for driving without a license and for appearing on The Daily Show "after announcing to local Republicans that his mission was to keep gays and lesbians out of Palm Beach County.

In 2008, when she was unable to seek another term in the legislature due to term limits, Bucher decided to run for Palm Beach County Supervisor of Elections, and faced incumbent Supervisor Art Anderson and Wellington Village Councilman Robert Margolis in the nonpartisan primary.

Despite the fact that they criticized Bucher's "well-earned reputation as a partisan Democrat and attack dog" in the legislature, they endorsed her because Anderson's "disastrous performance has further eroded voter trust.

After determining that the list that she was given was faulty, she refused to proceed with the purge, declaring, "We need to make sure we have reliable and credible information, by a preponderance of evidence.

"[8] When she ran for re-election in 2012, Bucher was challenged in the nonpartisan primary by Woodie McDuffie, the Mayor of Delray Beach, and Caneste Succe.
