FL-SEN: Central Florida Latino Democratic leaders try to put Sunshine State in play for Kamala Harris

Florida Latino leaders in Central Florida held a Democratic support event Saturday, hoping to increase turnout for Kamala Harris and her vice presidential nominee, Mike Walz, in their presidential run.

Democratic U.S. senatorial candidate Debbie Mucarsel-Powell, who is trying to defeat incumbent Republican Rick Scott, was the keynote speaker at Saturday’s event, “Latino con Harris-Walz.”

She claimed that the policies of Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump and Scott promise no real advantages for Floridians.

“For far too long, Floridians have suffered from the consequences of Rick Scott and Donald Trump’s extreme policies and many failures,” said Mucarsel-Powell. “Today, because of Trump and Rick Scott, home insurance rates are skyrocketing due in part to their climate change denial, an extreme abortion ban is jeopardizing the lives of women, and Florida is becoming unaffordable for our families. Floridians are ready for change, and together, we will send Vice President Kamala Harris to the White House in November.”
