#flsen — Public Fediverse posts

Before feeding the #FLSen primary into the maw of factionalism, maybe look at the map. Nixon won Duval County 80-20! Most of the heavily Black counties of the pandhandle she took by 70% or more. This is about pure, unadulterated post-Callais anger; Nixon was a face of the gerrymandering resistance.

ANGIE NIXON.

Now the Democratic Party nominee for Mario Rubio's old #FLSen seat.

Upset former Col. Alex Vindman in the primary.

In FLORIDA.

And she even won the Cuban emigre vote.

If the Democrats would just not nutpunch the Left and progressives, they would kick the GOP's collective ASSES up and down the country come November.

fwiw;

“For voters whose families fled unstable democracies or authoritarian regimes, Mucarsel-Powell said, abortion restrictions will signal an effort to increase government overreach into people’s personal decisions.” https://19thnews.org/2024/05/debbie-mucarsel-powell-florida-abortion-immigration-freedom/ #FLSen

“I came to the United States from a country which suffered under a military dictatorship — this is real for me,” she said. “I’ve seen firsthand what happens when politicians come for our freedoms, and I won’t let a fraud like Rick Scott take us down a path of extremism and authoritarianism.” https://floridapolitics.com/archives/694382-dmp-scott-trauma-freedom/ #FLSen

Georgia Sen. Jon Ossoff campaigns for Debbie Mucarsel-Powell in Jacksonville: “DMP, as her supporters call her, is hoping to do what Ossoff did in Georgia: unseat a Republican senator.” https://mynews13.com/fl/orlando/news/2024/10/30/dmp-in-jax #FLSen

“Freedom is why I came to this country. I know what it means,” said US Senate candidate Debbie Mucarsel-Powell, who is originally from Ecuador. “But this guy, Rick Scott? His plans take away women’s rights, take away Social Security and Medicare. That’s not freedom."

"So the question is: Do you want a Senator who protects freedom or one who wants to take it away?”

“It’s borderline criminal. People are so angry, frustrated and exhausted. Helene brought flooding. Then Milton made everything worse.” Debbie Mucarsel-Powell (D) rails against GOP climate denier Rick Scott in her campaign for Senate. “It has raised the alarm to the fact that the climate is changing and no one has done anything to bring down the impacts." https://www.huffpost.com/entry/florida-home-insurance-rick-scott-debbie-murcarsel-powell-climate-change_n_671bfc03e4b0fdf4fef462e7

Remember that Medicare scammer Rick Scott won his 2018 US Senate race by just 10,000 votes.

DEBBIE CAN WIN #FLSen

Liliana Martinez, an attendee at a Mucarsel-Powell town hall, “said she grew up in Colombia with really conservative views on abortion. ‘Mi abuelita, if I talked to her about abortion, she would kill me, disinherit me, everything,’ Martinez said. ‘But now things are different.’” #FLSen

“Many Americans are feeling the pinch of higher pharmaceutical prices. Mucarsel-Powell believes the federal government should negotiate drug prices for Medicare. The Inflation Reduction Act of 2022 did just that for a small number of medications. Scott opposed this legislation.” #FLSen https://www.jacksonville.com/story/opinion/columns/guest/2024/10/16/stark-divide-on-health-issues-between-scott-mucarsel-powell-senate-race/75664243007/

"Mucarsel-Powell, a former U.S. House representative, has a track record of supporting Haitian immigrants, from her advocacy for TPS to addressing housing affordability in Little Haiti. Her relationship with the Haitian American community has been a central feature of her campaign." #FLSen

Haitian Times: Debbie Mucarsel-Powell “has intensified outreach efforts” to Haitian American voters, seizing on Rick Scott’s “apparent support for anti-immigrant rhetoric.”

“Haitian Americans deserve a leader who will fight for them, not someone who stays silent in the face of dangerous rhetoric,” she said.

Former President Obama endorses Debbie Mucarsel-Powell for US Senate.

Rick Scott “only narrowly won his Senate seat six years ago, defeating Nelson by 10,033 votes. Public polls show his favorability among Floridians deep underwater … Some polls show Mucarsel-Powell coming within striking distance of Scott …”

DEBBIE CAN WIN #FLSen

“‘Freedom’ is the central message of Mucarsel-Powell’s Senate bid. As she enters the final weeks of her campaign to defeat Scott, Mucarsel-Powell is telling voters that Republican policies, like Florida’s six-week abortion ban, are an affront to the fundamental liberties that immigrants like her came to the U.S. for in the first place.” https://www.miamiherald.com/news/politics-government/article292813439.html #FLSen

“I talked to this older gentleman in his 70s, and I asked him, ‘What is your top issue?’ He said, ‘Abortion.’” She continues, “He told me that his aunt, before Roe v. Wade, died because she couldn’t have access to this reproductive health care. It destroyed his family for decades.” #FLSen

“Will the fight for abortion care help Debbie Mucarsel-Powell win in Florida?

This November, in the Sunshine State, reproductive rights—and an essential U.S. Senate seat—are on the line.”

"My story is a story of Florida," said Debbie Mucarsel-Powell, "a lot of people that just come, that want to work hard, that want to make it, that want to send their kids to school without the fear of gun violence coming to the schools and taking the lives away from their children." https://www.newsweek.com/exclusive-debbie-mucarsel-powell-venezuela-immigration-rick-scott-1948225 #FLSen

The Democratic Senatorial Campaign Committee has announced "a new multi-million dollar investment in television advertising for the Texas and Florida Senate races."

"The investment will supplement TV advertising from the Allred and Mucarsel-Powell campaigns. In both states, the ads will focus on holding Cruz and Scott accountable for their unpopular records and agenda."

Debbie Mucarsel-Powell’s “doing a very creditable job in her first statewide race, hammering Scott for MAGA extremism generally and for reactionary views on abortion in particular.” https://nymag.com/intelligencer/article/democrat-could-make-rick-scott-spend-it-all-in-senate-race.html #FLSen

“‘If I had backed a national abortion ban, written the plan to end Social Security and Medicare as we know them, and pushed to raise taxes on the middle class, I’d probably be scared to debate too,’ said Debbie Mucarsel-Powell spokesperson Lauren Chou.” https://floridapolitics.com/archives/695428-scared-to-debate-rick-scott-takes-more-fire-for-campaign-strategy/ #FLSen

Former Rep. Debbie Mucarsel-Powell raises more than $1 million in the 48 hours after a poll showed her tied with Rick Scott.

“Mucarsel-Powell’s campaign also said she brought in 13,000 first-time donors during the same period.”

And one poll last week had #TedCruz up by only 2 points
