Florida Democrats Celebrate the Election of LaVon Bracy Davis to the Florida Senate and RaShon Young to the Florida House of Representatives

The Florida Democratic Party is thrilled to congratulate LaVon Bracy Davis and RaShon Young on the Special Election victories in Senate District 15 and House District 40, respectively. Chair Nikki Fried released the following statement upon their wins:

“Senator-elect LaVon Bracy Davis and Representative-elect RaShon Young are some of the best among us, and I am thrilled to congratulate them on their victories in this Special Election. True community advocates, they care about and are ready to fight for what Central Floridians care about the most: lower costs of living, safer communities, and true change driven by and for the people.

This victory is not an anomaly. Floridians are sick of the Republican status quo, and this 70% margin of victory proves that Floridians are saying enough is enough. Voters are fed up with political posturing, wasteful spending, and the never-ending culture wars that have left the middle class behind with shrinking healthcare coverage, crumbling public schools, and sky-high insurance premiums. Using alliteration to name inhumane detention camps may grab headlines, but it’s not grabbing votes.

Together, Florida Democrats made over 37,000 direct voter contact attempts and re-enrolled nearly 10,000 Democratic voters in vote by mail. This is a direct result of investing in year-round organizing, coalition building, and on the ground momentum that is driven by volunteers.”
