FLORIDA DEMOCRATIC PARTY  – COMMUNICATIONS UPDATE
Happy Monday, Democrats!

We are just 8 days away from our primary election and early voting is officially open all across Florida!

I hope you’re getting out in the community, knocking doors, and making calls this week. That excitement you feel when you meet a voter is what democracy looks and feels like. This past weekend, I had the opportunity to experience it first hand as I hit the road and joined volunteers in Tampa to knock doors alongside U.S. Rep. Kathy Castor and State Senator Brian Nathan.
As I talked to voters, one thing was clear: Floridians are ready for change. From sky high prices at the pump and soaring grocery costs, to overdevelopment and rampant corruption, the folks I spoke to had a lot on their minds and they are ready to take their frustrations to the ballot box. After 30 years of Republican rule in Florida and nearly 2 years into Trump’s second term, they are saying enough is enough. We have an incredible opportunity to show them that a better way is possible and that there are hundreds of Democrats up and down the ballot ready to take back Florida.

To help make sure every voter has the information they need, FDP’s Democratic Voter Guide is live at floridadems.org/vote. Voters can enter their registration address to see the Democrats and party-endorsed measures on their ballot, so encourage everyone you talk to to check it out before heading to the polls.

While talking to voters, you may encounter some questions outside of the norm about voting. We are thrilled to announce the Voter Protection Hotline is up and running. Any Floridian that has questions about voting or has been turned away from a polling place can dial:

833-VOTE-FLA

When voters call the Voter Assistance Hotline, they will be connected with one of 700 volunteers who will help to ensure they get a solid answer and solution to whatever barrier to voting they may be experiencing. The Florida Democratic Party is working every day to ensure every eligible Floridian has the opportunity to cast a ballot and have that ballot counted. Because all politics is local, our county voter protection teams work to protect the vote in their respective communities. The hotline is available to answer questions from all 67 counties in English, Spanish, or Haitian Creole.

It’s our time to shine, Democrats! I can’t wait to celebrate our shared victory in the week ahead.

The Final Push: GOTV Statewide Weekend of Action
Florida Democrats are heading into the final stretch before the August 18 elections with organizers and volunteers across the state continuing to reach voters at an incredible scale.

Just this past week, our DECs, clubs, and caucuses made 168,144 calls, attempted 19,756 doors, and had 8,117 conversations with voters across Florida.

Through our Take Back Local program, we accomplished tens of thousands of calls and sent even more texts on behalf of more than a dozen Democratic candidates running for local office and school board.

Now, it all comes down to GOTV.

This coming weekend is our GOTV Statewide Weekend of Action, and these are the final days to help Democrats and left-leaning NPAs make a plan to cast their ballots in the August 18 elections.

Join us for the final push: host a canvass or phonebank, attend an event in your community, or make calls virtually from home. Every conversation between now and Election Day is an opportunity to turn out another voter and help elect Democrats up and down the ballot.
