From the Florida Democratic Party Chair Terrie Rizzo
Dear Democrats,
We all can now take a collective sigh of relief and celebrate the start of a new chapter for our country, knowing that President-Elect Joe Biden is headed to the White House with more votes than any Presidential ticket in history, and Vice-President-Elect Kamala Harris will also make history as both the first woman and the first Black and Southeast Asian Vice President. Joe Biden and Kamala Harris will work tirelessly to improve the lives of every single American. Their inclusive, clear-eyed leadership is precisely what we need to restore the soul of this nation.
Let's also congratulate each of the 286 Democratic candidates who won across Florida. And I thank all of our down-ballot Democrats, our Party leaders, our staff, and all of our amazing volunteers who gave their blood, sweat, and tears to help Democrats win. All politics is local, and winning local and municipal races must continue to be a key pillar of an effective strategy in Florida.
It's clear we have much work to do, as a nation and as a state, but Joe Biden has never given up when things are difficult, and neither will we. Again, from the bottom of my heart, thank you to each and every one of you for all of your hard work!
Forward,
Terrie Rizzo
Chair
Florida Democratic Party
