I am in Volusia County (District 7; not 6); member of the county DEC and we are going to be very active for Josh Weil; very difficult district to actually win..cutting into the margins is important

So encouraging to see that the Florida Democratic Party finally has their sh*t together! If I understand correctly, this November Dems ran a candidate in every single Florida legislative race. That indicates good party leadership and is precisely as it should be!

The only surefire way to keep losing is to fail to run a candidate.

Nationally, Democrats failed to challenge a thousand state-level legislative seats in 2024. That’s inexcusable political malpractice – never mind that the GOP failed to challenge 1300 races.

exactly; and the state Republicans are in civil war (however, I must say that the Ashley Moody selection was good politics)

Randy Fine seems to follow my father but he moved into a new house in the 6th from Brevard, will remind them to vote in the special.

they won't be able to vote though.. Randy Fine lives 80 miles away from the district.. No part of the district includes Brevard.. I am Mills District 7; which actually contains portions of north Brevard but your parents might be in the district that the Republicans set up where they didn't have an election at all; only 1_ candidate filed for the open seat (not sure of the current district number but it used to be the old FL-15)

the current district number is now FL-8 and it was given freely to Haridopolus without any opposition from Republicans or Democrats (Democrats are not competitive in the district)
