‘Florida Freedom Tour’ kicks off Wednesday in North Florida
Tallahassee, FL – Senate Democratic Leader Lauren Book today announced the first-ever Senate Victory statewide bus tour – dubbed the ‘Florida Freedom Tour’ – will kick off this week to get out the vote in North, Central, West, and South Florida for frontline candidates Senator Loranne Ausley (SD 3, North Florida), Senator Janet Cruz (SD 14, Hillsborough), Representative Joy Goff-Marcil (SD 10, Central Florida), Raquel Pacheco (SD 36, Miami-Dade), and Janelle Perez (SD 38, Miami-Dade). The Florida Freedom Tour will begin Wednesday, October 26, in Tallahassee and end Friday, November 4, in Miami.
“For the first time ever, Senate Democrats will be launching a statewide bus tour to take our message of freedom directly to voters across the state and get out the vote for our frontline candidates — five pro-choice, working moms who are fighting to protect Floridians’ rights and freedoms,” says Leader Lauren Book. “Vote-by-mail ballots are out and as we head into early vote, we are excited to connect with Democrats, Independents, and moderate Republicans to make sure they know Loranne, Janet, Joy, Raquel, and Janelle share their values and will fight to defend the freedoms radical Republicans are working to take away – reproductive freedom for women and survivors of sexual assault, freedom of speech, the right to fully funded public schools, and an economy that allows every Floridian to achieve their own version of the American Dream.”
