Dahnny Roman, Political & Field Director, America Votes, will share results of research on potentially flippable Florida legislative seats. He will also contrast the platform perspectives of finalists for Florida’s U.S. Senate seat. America Votes is a pro-democracy group working to protect voting rights and build a more representative democracy. This research will help identify where your investments of volunteer time & money may have the greatest impact this fall.

Bob Schaeffer, 25-year Florida political campaign consultant and organizer; co-author of Winning Local & State Elections (Simon & Schuster); will facilitate the discussion with Dahnny and FFD Q&A.

In recent years, the Florida legislature passed and Governor DeSantis signed many bills that steal our hard-earned freedoms. More regressive proposals are in the works ... if ideological extremists continue to control Tallahassee.

While a wholesale transformation of the state legislature is not likely in the near future, flipping a few seats in the 2024 election cycle could end the extreme super-majority and restore some legislative balance. While Floridians for Democracy is not endorsing candidates, we have consulted allied groups to evaluate state races where pro-democracy contenders have a realistic chance of victory. This important educational program is scheduled for August 29, the week following the Florida primary elections. Thus, the November ballot finalists will be known.
