Democrats,


Last week, DNC Chairman Jaime Harrison joined me and many of our candidates at a press conference in Tallahassee to announce that we've filled every seat.


I want to give a big thanks to Chairman Harrison, Senator-elect Carlos Guillermo Smith, Candidate Sarah Henry, and all the candidates who joined us in Tallahassee. Now that all seats are filled, our next step is to earn the support of Floridians across our state.


This Thursday, President Biden will be on the debate stage. You can join our DECs, clubs, and caucuses hosting watch parties all over the state. To find a watch party near you, visit mobilize.us and search for "watch party."


You've heard me say "Florida is in play" for a while now. With the DNC chairman saying it, political pundits on major news outlets saying it, and the Biden campaign rapidly staffing up, it's clear that Florida is indeed in play. This election is too crucial to sit on the sidelines. We need everyone to step up and get involved. If President Biden wins Florida, he wins the White House.


Let's work together to take back Florida!

Nikki Fried
Chair
Florida Democratic Party

Presidential Debate


Next week on the debate stage in Atlanta, the American people will see two distinct visions for the future: President Biden’s vision, where freedoms are protected and all Americans have a fair shot. Donald Trump’s “vision,” where he has pledged to serve as a dictator on day one, give tax cuts to the ultra-wealthy, and attack women’s rights repeatedly. While the stakes of this election are high, the case for Joe Biden is clear. He is prepared to bring that case to the American people in Atlanta on June 27.


DECs, Clubs, and Caucuses are hosting watch parties across the state. Be sure to click on the link below to find a watch party close to you.
