Florida Voters Reject DeSantis Agenda
By Charlotte Robinson, August 22, 2024
Finally in Florida primary voters delivered a resounding message to right-wing extremism & Governor DeSantis as LGBTQ & pro-equality candidates secured critical victories. This is hopefully a sign of the times that weird obsessions, culture wars, extremism & hate are not a winning game plan. Stratton Pollitzer, Chair of Equality Florida Action PAC stated, "The results are clear: Floridians are tired of the politics of rage & division. Voters across the state—Democrats, Independents & moderate Republicans—stood up to reject the extreme candidates backed by DeSantis & his allies. This election was a rejection, a repudiation & a rebuke of an agenda that has sought to divide us rather than unite us. Floridians have had enough of DeSantis & his cronies ignoring real issues while doubling down on censorship & government control to pander to extremists. They want representatives who will stand up for the rights of every parent & restore access to healthcare & quality education.” In school board races across Florida DeSantis-endorsed candidates suffered significant losses. Two-thirds of DeSantis-backed candidates failed to win Tuesday night signaling a rejection of extremists hoping to escalate a far-right takeover of Florida schools. Also 3 of the Florida legislature’s most vocal critics of DeSantis’ anti-LGBTQ slate of hate all secured decisive victories proving that voters reward leaders who fight for inclusion. Not only is this another blow to DeSantis’ failed agenda of censorship, book-banning & anti-LGBTQ attacks on which he’s built his entire political reputation but a ray of light as we head toward November’s presidential election.
