"Democrats are laser-focused on what really matters: building a more affordable Florida for all of us. No one has to lose for all of us to win."
Check out Leader Lori Berman's response to the governor's State of the State speech here:
Senate Democratic Leader Lori Berman:
"The rainbow crosswalk at Pulse was a tribute, not a political statement — and a tribute authorized by a Republican administration, at that. It was specifically designed to enhance pedestrian safety for people paying their respects." (1/3)
"Removing that crosswalk was a mean-spirited attempt to demoralize the LGBTQ+ community and an insult to the 49 people who lost their lives there nearly a decade ago. I join Senator @CarlosGSmith in condemnation of this unnecessary betrayal of their memory." (2/3)
“Wasting taxpayer dollars on politically charged stunts is what I’ve unfortunately come to expect from the administration that brought us the Hope Florida scandal. If they think this is what Floridians expect from their government, they’re even more out of touch than I thought.”
‼️BREAKING‼️ Democratic Senators abstain and walk out from this sham of a confirmation hearing. Senate Democrats know Floridians deserve better than a doctor of disinformation as the top public health official of the state.
“I’m appealing to your basic human dignity” — @LeaderBookFL files an amendment to include exemptions for rape, incest, and human trafficking in HB5. Survivors should not have to bear the consequences of another individual’s actions.
"What they're doing is trying to suppress how the students think and try to tell professors and administrators how and what they should teach and muzzling them on what they can and cannot say." -

We’ll give you the simple answer: no. No, he does not have the proper experience to serve as our Surgeon General. Dr. Joseph Ladapo isn’t equipped with the necessary skills to effectively protect Floridians from public health emergencies. @ShevrinJones
Dear Florida,
We're sick and tired of the culture wars. And while we keep fighting to protect your freedoms, we want to ask: What are the real issues you're facing that we can help with?

Talk to you soon,
Florida Senate Democrats
Tonight, Florida Senate Democrats stood up against racism and hate. ‘Preserving history’ should never come at the expense of Black Floridians.
We are proud to defend our values, but deeply saddened by the disgusting and dangerous displays tonight in the Florida Capitol.
As 'Don't Say Gay' is signed into law, we continue to see uninformed Republicans claim the reason for national outrage is because we haven’t read the bill. We read it. So did medical professionals, educators, community leaders, and parents. Read more below 👇
