FLORIDA DEMOCRATIC PARTY  – COMMUNICATIONS UPDATE

Happy Monday, Democrats!

Last week, I told you we had just wrapped up our biggest Weekend of Action of the year. This weekend, you topped it. Together, we made nearly 365,000 calls and door knocks and talked with almost 12,000 voters. That’s what happens when Democrats keep showing up.

I spent the weekend alongside some of our most committed organizers, volunteers, and candidates—and I felt that momentum firsthand.

We launched joint canvasses in Broward with Todd Delmay in HD 101 and Michael Ferguson in HD 100, and in St. Lucie County with James Martin in CD 21 and Take Back Local school board candidate Lisa Kessler. At those two events alone, volunteers knocked more than 1,500 doors.

Across Florida, volunteers joined phonebanks and canvasses for Angie Nixon, David Jolly, and our congressional and local candidates. More than a quarter of our volunteers last weekend were taking their very first action with the campaign.

A couple important reminders:

  • TODAY is the last day to register to vote in Florida for the November 3rd election, and we are working hard to remind everyone we know! Make sure your family, friends, and neighbors are registered to vote by texting them using our friend outreach tool below!
  • Remind Your Friends to Register to Vote by 11:59 PM EST TODAY!
  • This tool makes it extra easy to remind your friends to register or to check their registration at floridadems.org/vrdeadline.

I left this weekend energized by the commitment I saw across our state. Let’s carry that energy into the week ahead.

Voter Protection

Every vote deserves to count. Where do you fit? You are crucial to our efforts to protect every Floridian’s right to vote and have that vote counted.

Poll Watchers: If you’re comfortable observing and documenting, keep an eye on the in-person voting process to help ensure it runs fairly and smoothly.

Voter Assistance Hotline Agents: If you’re a good listener who likes solving problems, help answer voters’ questions on our hotline at 833-868-3352.

Ballot Cure Assistants: If you’re detail-oriented and like helping people fix mistakes, help voters correct errors on their vote-by-mail ballots. These are errors that would otherwise keep their vote from being counted.

Whichever role fits you best, we need you. Sign up today to join our Voter Protection Team.

Florida has a historic opportunity with Angie Nixon running to become Florida’s first Black U.S. senator and David Jolly seeking the governorship, Black voters can play a decisive role in electing leaders who will fight for their communities and for all Floridians.

That is why the Florida Democratic Party has launched the Black Voter Action Network Phonebank Campaign. Our goal is to reach voters across the state, share what is at stake in this election, and increase turnout.

Update on Last Week’s Supreme Court Ruling on DHS Citizenship Lists

In March 2026, Trump issued an Executive Order instructing DHS to expand the use of the Save Alien Verification for Entitlements (SAVE) program to confirm citizenship for voting eligibility and purge state voter rolls. Last week, the Supreme Court made a procedural ruling in the Trump Administration’s favor, but a ruling on the merits has not yet been made on whether the President’s Executive Order is lawful. Our Voter Protection team is tracking developments closely.
