MIAMI — Florida Democrats announced a new effort to try to bring more voters into the fold as they trail Republicans in the number of registered voters for the first time in state history.
Democrats will spend $2.5 million as an “initial investment” to register more Democratic voters, said party chairperson Manny Diaz at a Monday news conference held on Zoom. The push is being coordinated by the party alongside the Democratic caucuses in the state House and Senate, as well as a secretive group of donors called the Florida Alliance, which speakers at the announcement billed as a historic partnership. Democratic Miami-Dade Mayor Daniella Levine Cava is also involved and will help fundraise.
“My 2020 campaign is living proof that Democrats can win and can lead with great success when everyone puts in the work,” said Levine Cava, even though her race was a nonpartisan election.
