STATEMENT FROM FL DEMS CHAIR ROD SMITH:

“We congratulate Jose Javier Rodriguez on his victory. Jose is a fresh voice who ran a strong campaign centered on the principals that have guided his career in public service, and voters delivered him a victory.

“Tonight, the people of south Florida sent a strong message to Governor Rick Scott and the Republicans in Tallahassee. Floridians are ready to put an end to the GOP’s failed policies that have moved our state in the wrong direction in favor of a fresh approach aimed at strengthening middle class families and ending the corruption and waste in government.”
