TAMPA, Fla. — Following months of pressure and a catastrophic 2022 election cycle for Democrats, the chair of the Florida Democratic Party, Manny Diaz, announced Monday that he is retiring, “effective immediately.”
In a letter sent to Democrats around the state, Diaz did not mince words about why he thinks the party has not been effective.
“We cannot win elections if we continue to rely on voter registration to drive turnout, build field operations only around elections, and expect to get our vote out without engaging voters where they live,” Diaz wrote.
