In Florida, the Democratic Party just gifted the Republicans 2 Congressional races, without even trying. They just didn’t run a Democratic candidate in 2 of the Congressional seats. Gave them right away to the Republicans.
This is Florida — it has 29 electoral votes to give to the President and Florida is THE southern state most likely to flip blue.
How will that help bring out up ballot voters to vote for the Democratic Presidential candidate? How will that bring out down ballot voters for Democratic State Senate and House races? How does that help build the party? How is that practicing Democracy?
So, let’s do here at Daily Kos what we do so well. Let’s show the Party how to do it. Let’s make sure there is a candidate running in every state race. The deadline to file is June 8th and because of the current pandemic folks can’t go door to door to get signatures. They all need to pay the almost $2,000 fee to file. Let’s help them get that money!
These 90for90 candidates could use some help:
