I really don't think in FL folks see why the loss of a senate seat to Voldermort was important...

...I remember how terribly hard it was to get money or traction to defend the Democratic seat in Florida even though there were plenty of marches and rallies here for lots of causes.

It seems obvious that Florida needs to recruit and run high quality candidates. Florida needs to get out there (like GA), because it has so many national implications.

Pinellas went blue for Biden. Charlie Crist and David Jolly have left the GOP, and both were/are solid politicians whether you agree with them or not. That was actually a victory instead of having to run against either of them.

Who can beat stupid Scott???? What will get people out to vote??? It's very frustrating.

Who would you run for Senate?

I'm looking for Val Demings for Senate.

She was stellar during the impeachment hearings, she's smart, tough and experienced.

I think Repugs control FL judiciary and voting plus have 52 billionaires on their side so it's extremely difficult to win here. Val Demings could make the difference and I for one am certainly pulling for her. Don't know who could win governor, no idea?

Gov and the senate seat..He is a multi millionaire who used his money to buy his ticket.
A good candidate with money behind it would be great... sCott is scum and just biding his time to run for prez.. YMMV

He's completely unglued from reality. He is the confused puppet of the former Trump administration. If there were any justice in this country Rick Scott would be a convicted felon and nothing more.

She is an excellent choice. I am still waiting for a Stacey Abrams type person to pop up here.

Does anyone have any thoughts about Attorney John Morgan? I find him to be intelligent, rich, and impressive, but others have seemed to disagree with me. I'm referring to people near me and not members here.
