West Orlando News


Florida Democrats filed and qualified to contest all 28 Congressional Districts in 2024, which is the first time the Florida Democratic Party was able to fill a full slate of congressional candidates since 2018.

“Florida Democrats just filed to compete for every congressional seat,” said FDP Chair Nikki Fried.“It does not matter if we’re running in Pensacola or Key West, every part of this state is worth fighting for and we are not going to let Florida Republicans walk into office without being held accountable. Florida Democrats are fired up and ready to compete everywhere.”

Florida Democrats congressional candidatesEarlier this month, the Florida Democratic Party launched a targeted candidate recruitment campaign with billboards and digital ads across the state, encouraging candidates to run for office.

After the campaign launched, the Florida Democratic Party received over 100 applications for support and resources and coordinated with congressional candidates to get them across the finish line in time for the recent qualifying deadline.

Glad to see Dems starting to realize that having Dems on the ballot increases turnout. Win or lose it encourages others to enter and can lead to increased Democratic wins.

All these unexpected wins everywhere with margins nobody predicted should be telling us something.
There's a huge Blue Wave coming if we invest the time and effort where we normally don't ie: Red States.
