In June 1976 she was appointed director of the Division of Elections in the Office of the Secretary of State of Florida under Bruce Smathers. She succeeded Dorothy Glisson, who resigned in January 1976 to become secretary of professional and occupational regulation. The job paid $21,500 a year. Singleton was the first black person and the second woman to hold that position.Singleton resigned as elections director to seek the Democratic nomination for Lieutenant Governor of Florida in the 1978 state elections. She ran on a ticket as the running mate of Claude R. Kirk, Jr., the colorful former Republican governor of Florida who attempted a comeback as a Democrat. She had to suspend campaigning in August 1978 to be with her 29-year-old daughter Carol Scott in New Orleans, who was undergoing surgery for cancer. Kirk and Singleton lost the election, placing sixth in a field of seven tickets in the first round of the Democratic primary with 6 percent of the vote.Singleton died on December 7, 1980 at age 54, at her Tallahassee home.
