I want to take this opportunity to thank you all for the hard work you put forth during these last few months in our combined effort to win the election. It was disappointing that we did not win Florida. I don't have the numbers available to me at the moment, so I am not sure if we improved the Democratic vote in St. Johns County or in precinct 505. I will forward that information when I get it.
In the bigger picture, it was a successful election with a glorious result. We have in Joe Biden the perfect President to meet this challenging moment. The senate constitution is not clear pending the two runoff races in Georgia. Winning those races would be wonderful as that would give Democrats the majority, making governing easier and more productive.
But it's just as likely that President Elect Biden will be dealing with a Republican senate. Here is where Joe is the perfect person for the moment. He knows the senate like few others in history, serving in that body for 35 years. During that time he forged relationships and friendships with many current members. He has earned their respect. He has a long history of working across the aisle.
While there are many pressing matters at this moment - Covid, climate, the economy, systemic racism, to name a few - there is a fundamental problem that must simultaneously be addressed, that success on all of the issues before us depends; the deep partisan divide in this country.
The last four years has ripped open a fissure in our country not seen since 1860. The public's witnessing a Democratic President successfully working with a Republican senate to govern, would conceivably set an example for the country to follow, healing, or at least treating our enormous differences. The energy spent on partisan warfare, which effectively cancels out progress, could be at least partially redirected to work in parallel, in synergy. As Joe has said, "Let's turn down the temperature, we are opponents, not enemies, we are all Americans"
Joe has his work cut out for him, but he is uniquely qualified -a backbone of steel wrapped in velvet empathy. The unseen powers of the universe have offered us Joe Biden for this moment. I am hopeful that his tenure will be a significantly positive pivot point for America.
Dr. Mark Vogel,
505 Precinct Committeeman

Florida Democratic Party Statement on Joe Biden’s Election as President of the United States
Florida Democratic Party Chair Terrie Rizzo released the following statement:
“Congratulations to President-Elect Joe Biden and Vice President-Elect Kamala Harris. Today we celebrate the start of a new chapter for our country. We saw record breaking vote totals with Joe Biden winning more votes than any President in history. Today’s win was a victory for America and a victory for the millions of volunteers who gave their time, their heart and their soul to secure this outcome, and we thank them for their commitment to elect leadership that will build America back better.
“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. The Biden-Harris administration will also make history, as the brilliant Kamala Harris will be both the first woman and the first Black and Southeast Asian Vice President.
“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. Along with all Florida Democrats, I cannot wait for Joe Biden and Kamala Harris to be sworn in as the next President and Vice President of the United States."
