National and Florida Democrats coordinate fresh investment in CD 1, CD 6 Special Elections
The Democratic National Committee (DNC) has announced fresh investments and a coordinated campaign for Special Elections in two Florida congressional districts.
The DNC investment will allow the Florida Democratic Party to hire and assign full-time organizers and staffers to mobilize voters ahead of the April 1 elections in Florida’s 1st and 6th Congressional Districts. The DNC did not disclose a dollar amount for the investment, but said it will allow for 200 poll watchers and poll greeters to be deployed on Election Day in the two districts.
“I ran for DNC Chair on a platform to compete in elections everywhere — in all 57 states and territories and across all 3,244 counties,” said DNC Chair Ken Martin. “This investment into the Florida congressional special elections is exactly the type of work we must do to build power on the ground and make clear to voters that there are no off years when the stakes for the American people are so high.”
The investment notably comes after Democrat Josh Weil told Florida Politics that he raised more than $10 million in CD 6. He faces Republican Randy Fine, a state Senator, in the race to succeed U.S. Rep. Michael Waltz.
