Press Release Summary: Jade Esteban Estrada performs at event for Tallahassee
candidate Alma Gonzalez

Press Release Body: June 10, 2008 - Tallahassee, FL - Alma Gonzalez, a democratic
candidate for Leon County Commissioner-at-Large in Tallahassee, Florida received the
support of nationally-recognized singer/comedian Jade Esteban Estrada when he
performed at a fundraiser in her honor on Sunday, June 8, 2008 at the Ray's Steel
City Saloon in Tallahassee, Florida.

"His show stopping performance at my fundraiser made the evening! I cannot thank him
enough for lending his talents tonight. He was truly phenomenal" stated Gonzalez,
who hopes to win the election in late August. "I have said early and often that one
of my goals is to expand the County's anti-discrimination clause to include sexual
orientation. Jade's show tonight reminded all of us why this is so important."

Gonzalez is engaged in a race to win a seat on the Leon County Commission. Leon
County is home to Tallahassee, the capital city.

"What happens here has implications across Florida, the fourth most populous state
in the union," Gonzalez continued.

Estrada performed a song from his award-winning solo musical comedy "ICONS: The
Lesbian and Gay History of the World, Vol. 3" entitled "Post-Gay Republican." In the
song, he portrays Mary Cheney, the daughter of Vice-President Dick Cheney.

Former Kentucky Governor Ernie Fletcher commissioned Estrada the title of Kentucky
Colonel in 2006. The singer joined other honorary colonels including Ronald Reagan,
Johnny Depp, Winston Churchill and Pope John Paul II.

No stranger to the national political scene, the Texas native publicly endorsed
Howard Dean for President in 2003.

Estrada is the visiting host of the 2008 Tallahassee PrideFest weeklong celebration
and the host of the 19th Annual South Florida GLAAD Media Awards on the Bravo
Network set to air June 27, 2008.
