Today, following Tom Perez’s election as DNC Chair and Keith Ellison’s appointment as Deputy Chair, FDP Chair Stephen Bittel released the following statement:
“The Democratic Party has strong new leaders in Chair Tom Perez and Deputy Chair Keith Ellison, and we look forward to working with them to rebuild our party from the grassroots up. As Democrats, we fight for Florida families and support elected leaders who embrace the core Democratic values of building an economy that works for all of us, protecting the civil rights of all Americans, and ensuring that education and healthcare are rights, not privileges. The Florida Democratic Party welcomes Chair Perez and Deputy Chair Ellison and looks forward to turning Florida blue in 2018.”
