Florida Democrats Opening 40 Winning Ticket Grassroots Offices This Week
Democrats continue to dominate ground game, opening field offices in every corner of the state
This week, as the Florida Democratic Party continues to expand its state-wide coordinated campaign, it will open forty offices across the state. The office openings will kick-off Wednesday, October 3rd, continuing through the weekend with a full slate of Get Out The Vote grassroots activities.
“Opening 40 offices in one week is a monumental feat and it is truly a team effort — with massive support from the entire Democratic Winning Ticket including Senator Bill Nelson, Mayor Andrew Gillum, our Cabinet nominees, state legislative candidates and Democrats running for local office across the state,” said FDP Chair Terrie Rizzo. “The Florida Democratic Party began our coordinated ground game in early May — the earliest ever in a midterm election — and our plan to open 40 new offices this week is the next step in our plan to turn Florida, BLUE!”
