Democrats,


We hope you all had a lovely Father's Day weekend.


Over the past week, we achieved what was once considered a long shot: fielding Democratic candidates for every Congressional, State House, and State Senate seat. Every voter in our state will have a choice on the November ballot. A heartfelt thank you to everyone who contributed to this milestone, and a special appreciation to our candidates for their courage in stepping up to run.


Additionally, we proudly opened a crucial new office in Homestead. This hub will support our phone banking and canvassing efforts within the community. With Mayor Daniella Levine Cava on the ballot, we are committed to leaving no community behind.


Over the past year, our party has demonstrated that no challenge is too great. Let's keep pushing boundaries and achieve the extraordinary as we work together to Take Back Florida.

Nikki Fried
Chair
Florida Democratic Party
